Offered is a rare 1930's era German Forestry official's dagger by J. A. Henckels of Solingen.

The daggers feature all gilt finished brass fittings, with an elaborate urn pommel with acorn 'spike', deer horn grip, and lion head elk horn grip, with 3 inlaid acorn and oakleaf studs, the grip sitting atop an ornate grip spacer and opposing quillon hoof cross guard, fixed clamshell guard, all showing hunting scenery, with deers, dogs, forest scenery and oakleaf patterns. The 33cm long nickel blade is a bit rusted, but without any issues, just storage wear, which is light. The blades features etching panels to both sides, the first showing the hunting expedition, with hunter, dogs hunting and attacking wild boars, whilst birdlife and other animals look on within the forest. The opposing panel shows the hunt for deer, with the hunter taking aim at fleeing deer, within the forest, whilst birds flee. The original green buffer pad is present, next to the maker mark for JA Henckels Solingen, with trademark to ricasso. The blade is superbly finished with a filigree etched spine. The brass and black leather scabbard retains the acorn frog stud, '12' stamps to locket and chape, with full stitching to reverse of the lightly patterned leather body. The skinning knife is of brass, deer horn and with a 11cm long nickel blade, which fits into the scabbard recess port. Overall length 53cm.

They remain sharp, authentic War Relics. These came through the rat hole through Central America when the Nazis fled to South America. Some where even in the Americas at the time of war.

The blades are in great condition, solid, heavy. Sharp. I dont want to polish them but I am sure they could shine some of their former glory if done so.

The blades are in amazing shape for their age. They are quite rare and ive yet to find something similar.

any questions, please ask.

Oh and i did clean the blade on one sword, look at last pics to see how impeccable they are. I wont finish cleaning but you have an idea, they have rarely been used and still hold an edge after all this time.
