Thread: Svenskt stål/Swedish steel

I got three C.V.H. sweedish beauties to add on here.

First is a 4/8 950R with a faceted spine and barbers notch. I have not found out to much info anybody have anything to add I would be greatfull.

Second is a 4/8 MK 30 in Ivory.

Third is a NOS 13/16 MK 32. Will not stay NOS to much longer. Lol!

Forgot I even had this. Found it in the garage while cleaning up. It’s been out in the garage for at least 3 years. Scales are a little stained from the box but otherwise great shape.

2 7-day sets of Swedish framebacks, all Heljestrands except for one Soderen.

One has very nicely polished horn scales I believe, the other seems ivory? Not an expert on scale materials.
Sadly each set has 1 damaged pair of scales. Ivory set just came in today and is still in need of some cleaning.

I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this on their Heljestrand framebacks, but sometimes the tang has a letter on them, I often see a W or a C on them, no idea what the significance is of marking them this way

Anyone an idea?
