REICHSJAGERMEISTER HERMAN GORING PRESENTATION HUNTING HIRSCHFANGER with DOCUMENTS.
This next grouping of documents came with the purchase of a Hirschfanger that is 21 and half inches long. It was presented to Bernhard Keidel from the town of Mauterndorf. Herman Goring had a Castle in Mauterndof. This Hirschfanger was presented to his game master or keeper. I do not know the official title. There are also pages of background that I have no understanding of. I purchased this in 2001 and it has all surfaced while I was going through papers to put on this particular post.
The lettering on the blade is all capital Roman letters. They are gold in color. The makers name on the blade is one I have not seen before. Stamped. ROBERT HERMES in a half circle with the name SOLINGEN. The blade is all a bright chrome color. It has been well carried and the skinning knife looks like a replacement but it is well made.
