Ralph, You have just about blown me away, I cannot believe what I have just seen, both of the cutlasses were awarded by the ADJV, Thats the National German Hunting protection association, thats whats on the grip emblem. they are without doubt the most beautiful pair of cutlasses I have ever seen, if I ever get close to your collection I will inded be a very lucky guy, I'm speechless and very envious. I shouldn't be surprised but I am, you have just the best collection. On a more interesting note I had thought that this style badge was of a later design, now that has been proved wrong as well. Just don't ever stop showing your collection.
My greatest admiration.
Gary
