[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 1564011, member: 55"]I'm thinking of an old-style German hunting knife, "hunting sword" or Jagdmesser, rather than what we'd consider a hunting knife today; typically would have a stag handle with butt-cap, thicker at the butt than near the guard; while the current wood handle is shaped like a more modern table-knife handle. Possibly around 1870 - but the original handle would be important in verifying that, sadly. [ATTACH=full]229840[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
