UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen

Here are some more pictures taken with my sister's smartphone. I don't own a camera or a smartphone myself.

The Russian site "SAMMLER.ru" posted the link to this site and commented about my pictures: "There are a few photos of this item (only three) and not very good and from afar".

So, here are some more pictures of my "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" German hunting dagger, still not very good but, I hope, better.

Note the peened tang on the pommel. The photos of the peened tang, "Rabbit" etch, the "Boar" etch and the reverse side (makers mark) and etch near the top.

I would also like to make a correction of the 2nd Russian sword I posted with "Proved" on the reverse of tang and black handle is not an 1881 model but a 1909 model with "Nicholas II" crowned monogram.

Nicholas II or Nikolai II Alexandrovich Romanov[d] (18 May [O.S. 6 May] 1868 – 17 July 1918), known in the Russian Orthodox Church as Saint Nicholas the Passion-Bearer,[e] was the last Emperor of Russia, King of Congress Poland and Grand Duke of Finland, ruling from 1 November 1894 until his abdication on 15 March 1917.
