Hello wotan
Thank's a lot for your time writing an answer.
As I already wrote I was born in the 40's and my future in collecting is relatively short,
I began to collect, not only, edged weapons, when I was young.
At this time no others kind of knowledge than literature was available; now or so, you can access at more knowledge with internet, I found this web site recently.
as I was active on others kind of interest.
i throw this items our of drawers to show some, but I do not know what is fake or not.
It is not innocent, from me to take a NPEA helmet as an avatar...i saw a lot of people that show items and the expert say that are fakes, so I am not alone.
I will post one or two others items, and we 'll see.
You said that you know several collectors from my homeland, fine, I know nobody on this kind of interest.
Best regards

I have seen rings with just oak leaves on the band and I might have an advert. Not positive though.

Ceensored pics means someone has something to hide...especially when some of the less controversial details are hidden.
For this forum..there is no censoring unlike facebook armchair militaria forums.

The RZM number is recently applied.

Re: Chained SS Larry C 12/02/2023 03:13 PM
No Green light to give here which is more of a Red Light.....first off ...the community here would need to see what has been covered over by the white block outs over key areas to determine further authenticity and from what I can see from the Wotans knot which is mismatched with the chain assembly.

The Knot is a later production period attached to what appears to be an early production period example.
Uncover all those white blocks ...but until then ....this dagger is parted together.
If these are all the photos that can be provided..then for you ...just leave the dagger where you found it.

Regards Larry

These have been around for decades, so I think they were made in the early years of collecting: 60ties? 70ties? 80ties?

Re: WH sword wotan 11/30/2023 03:58 PM
Hello OWN, from these pics it looks like an original hilt. Scabbard might be a repaint? Is the blade plain or etched??? Are there better pics of the blade, mm, crossguard (with eagle) and the region -frnt and side- I did mark (please without portepee)? And a pic from the riveted pommel/lionshead.

Re: Police NCO Degen wotan 11/30/2023 03:53 PM
Hello Maralph, sorry for delay, I did not come to this thread earlier. The degen looks for sure different to those "common" police NCO degens. To me it looks (especially "crossguard", scabbard- and lower grip fitting) like one of the PM-Dachau produced degens (which are always discussed). I am only aware of the SSleader´s variant and am not sure if also police NCOs were also manufactured.

Re: DER DEUTSCHE JAGER, German hunting magazine C. Wetzel-20609 11/30/2023 01:13 AM
Note the name "Heidenreich" on the above advertisement. I found this description of the above Rosenthal figurine from "Deep South Antiques":

Large Rosenthal Porcelain Stag Deer by Fritz Heidenreich (1895-1966)
Regular price $2,000
This large Rosenthal deer is depicted in fine detail with exceptional color. A stunning addition to any décor. The male elk, king of the Pacific Northwest, is one of the largest mammals in North America and eastern Asia, as well as one of the largest deer species in the world.

Model number 1555 Art Department, Selb Kunstabteilung factory.

Designed by Heidenreich in 1935.

Size: H 14" L 16"

Pieces created by Heidenreich are compared with the best of porcelain like Meissen and Dresden. He was a well-respected artist and created many wonderful porcelain figurines for Rosenthal, where he was employed from 1919 to 1960. Fritz Heidenreich was the head of the Rosenthal art department in Selb, Bavaria. He became famous for his forest animal and bird sculptures.

On the bottom, "F. Heidenreich" is imprinted.

Re: WW1 nice stag grip fighting knife C. Wetzel-20609 11/29/2023 06:42 PM
Anton Wingen Jr. (Mein Lebensretter) registered 1915. Source: page 569, German Knife and Sword Makers, 1850-1945 by J. Anthony Carter.

I have seen 3 verisions of the Mein Lebensretter.

The 1st version shown in the 1915 Anton Wingen Jr. catalog title: "Stilets, Beste Kriegs. und Verteidigungswaffe, fur Soldaten" (Daggers, Best Wars. and Defensive Weapons, for Soldiers) shows a soldier holding a knife over another fallen soldier, over Mein Lebensretter, D R G M.

The 2nd version has flags with the Bavarian motto "In Treue Fest" over Mein Lebensretter D R G M.

The 3rd simple version only has "Mein Lebensretter" over D R G M.

Chevalier2022 has posted the image of the 1915 Anton Wingen catalog page, reposted here. I have acquired the 1st version as shown in the 1915 catalog with brown leather sheath with black metal fitting on the bottom.

Maybe, the non-rotting, metal sheath was used later as a result of the static trench warfare.

Re: The Gold For Iron Ring. Gaspare 11/29/2023 05:13 PM
Benten , thanks for the photos. Cool shot with the magnet... I've heard there was more than one pattern.. Maybe even a woman's version!

They can be painful to wear. Even if your lucky and one of their sizes happens to be your finger size the edges of every one I've seen have been pretty dam sharp!!

OK, so please members post 'em if you got 'em!! .... You might have one and not even know it.. So if you have a WW1 ride box pass a magnet over the rings and see if you score a hit! Or anyone seeing any other period information or the actual rings ,,,come on and get them up here................,

Gerrit1963,

Thank you.

One would think with all the different people researching, that a period catalog or period in wear picture would be discovered. Hold out hope.

Re: Carl H. Glauth in Frankfurt a/M C. Wetzel-20609 11/24/2023 10:04 PM
By 1873 Carl H. Glauth was selling military uniforms & equipment in Frankfurt a/M.

The top C. Glauth advertisement is from 1873 & the bottom C. Glauth advertisement is from 1877. These advertisement images were sent to me from Volker Lobner of Frankfurt, Germany.

I also posted a better readable image of my C. Glauth sword as it will appear in Volker Lobner's next book, his 3rd. (Note: date of 2015 at top is from another book by Volker Lobner. My name with date of 11/2021 is at the bottom).

Also note that "Luxus" will be removed from the title, "Luxus-Hirschfanger", because of the plain scabbard without the small skinning knife.
