  Third Reich Hunting Hirschfänger w/Frog. No maker. Although this Hirschfänger is unmarked, the blade etch motif matches the style shown in the 1941 F. W. Höller Sales Catalog on their Hirschfänger Nr. 19 für die Deustche Jägerschaft. Silver-plated hilt fittings show minor wear with dark age patina to the fluted pommel cap, recurved crossguard with stag hoof quillons and fluted clamshell. Dark brown stag horn grip is perfect with no cracks or chips and is complete with silver-over-bronze Hunting Association emblem showing virtually no wear to silver plate properly pinned to the obverse. Plated double-etched blade grades EX+/EX++ showing faint runner marks with some very minor gray speckling primarily to spine of blade and a few very tiny nicks to cutting some but no lifting or pitting or nicks to cutting edge. Etched panels feature standard Hunting scene of hunting dogs stalking foxes on obverse with stag and does running through forest on reverse. Etched panes retain 100% of the light gray background finish and blade is complete with green felt buffer pad. Green leather scabbard shows virtually no surface wear with no loss of color and, no rips, tears, or creases. Plain, dent-free, silver-plated scabbard fittings show age patina matching the hilt fittings and are complete with both retaining staples. Hirschfänger is complete with dark green leather frog in EX condition showing loss of with a small tear to leather adjacent to suspension lug. Nice Höller pattern example recently obtained in Germany\. EX+/EX++ (25593) $1,595. SOLD
