Title Hunting hanger
Nationality German
Period c 1900
Sold

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.

Hi Chris, just to let you know it arrived safely and I am very happy with it, also the condition. I have been looking for a while for that particular style and maker.. Thanks again for everything and I shall now be keeping an eye on your web page.
