  • Description:

    19th or early 20th century German huntsman sword.  This example shows a 20 1/2" double edge blade.  Half the blade is engraved with a forest scene with  a stand of arms.  The reverse side has an inscription in German - basically translated " a hunter is correct as long as he hunts with great effort or enthusiasm"  The reverse side shows a scallop guard, the makers name with a wood scone and a running stag.  The tip of the blade shows corrossion marks related to long time poor storage.  A very nice example of a traditional German hunting sword.
