To Bill Warda, -- At your request, I know you like old German Art so the following 15 photographs are dedicated to you for all of your past followings of collecting German Daggers. I have always appreciated your deciphering the German items I have shown on the forum. I guess the Kaiser is like any head of state. He gets anything he asks for but to have someone paint all the movements of a hunt is really something to behold. I could not believe this folio turned up. Please excuse the quality of my picture taking. Sincerely, HUBERTUS. Photo #32.

Well gentelmen like the last picture of this folio I am going to put it to sleep as I pretty well covered everything in this showing that I could. Even the little ink well is in the first picture of this last group. Thank you for looking. I would tell you to go hog hunting when you get a chance. I believe they are in just about every state. Sincerely, HUBERTUS Photo # 45.

Ralph,
Many thanks for posting the hunting prints, they really give the sense of what a big production this type of affair was all about. It must've been pretty exciting for all those involved. After the hunt I would have enjoyed seeing the festive dinner table laid out for the nobles and dignitaries and other high muckedy-mucks.
Splendid birthdays presents Ralphie!
Thanks and sincere best regards,
Bill

Marvelous pieces Ralph and keep up the good work of continuing to show pieces from your collection. I find it troubling that it seems only a few of us see the beauty in these works of art. I visited a home in Michigan two weeks ago that had marvelous suites of armor, swords, ivory, and about everything you could imagine. The owner said I was the first person that had seen his collection in years that knew and could appreciate what I was looking at. Ralph, have you ever thought about adding a wing to a museum someplace close to you and let others learn and appreciate what you share with the rest of us? Again, keep them coming for the forum is the very first thing I look at each night. Yager

Fine items Ralph. The clock is a stunning piece to say the least. Unreal that you could obtain all these items at once. Thanks for showing them.

I want to thank Bill, Jaeger and Houston and all the others that have posted interest in the collecion just shown. Your replies are appreciated. I obtained another third Reich hunting collection this September and will try and post it over the Thanksgiving Holidays. It contains over 30 pieces of hunting paraphernalia that include 8 daggers.

Ralph,
What a wonderful find and buy. I can't even imagine the man hours that went into that clock! And those beautiful etched blades, what words can describe the visual enjoyment looking at them can bring. Such artistry of the Third Reich era is why all of us enjoy this "hobby" so much. Thank you for sharing with us.
