This weapon was traditionally carried by huntsmen for finishing off wounded game, principally wild boar, deer and stags. It is a typical Solingen product with a stag horn grip and white metal mounts. It has an 18-inch blade, double-edged at the point.
The hilt is in quite good shape, but the blade has suffered - corrosion damage when engraved at the factory perhaps, or lack of care after use on wounded beasts! However, the blade is still fully functional.
