Hi gents,

I recently purchased this dagger as post war one, but the squirrel looks pre-war to me (1935-41).
Can somebody please confirm if this dagger pre or post war?

Thanks,
Ales

Post war, if this was a stamped mark then it would be OK on this style dagger. 99% of the hunting, forestry and shooting association hirschfängers (1933-45) have a stamped mark and all Eickhorn hirschfängers from that period must have a stamped mark.

Thanks Gary! I see that exactly same dagger on ebay is represented as pre-war dagger, this is why I got confused.

Hi Alex
That one is post war as well despite the description of the seller.
