Thanks Gary, yours is very interesting and is in great condition. There are many variations of Boar heads on these hunting pieces. Mine is the gilded finished one in the 1st picture and the blade has lost the bluing and gilding. It also does not fit all the way into the scabbard which has shrunk over time. Volker Lobner asked me to look for a crown on the tang and I cleaned the tang under the clam shell where I noticed an oval and found the # 2 Eickhorn mark (J. Anthony Carter, page 166) much to my surprise. The seller of my sword on ebay said the sword came from the estate of a WWI Veteran from Mass. The other sword pictured is from another collector and retains the original bluing and gilding on the blade and the condition is superb. Here are some pictures of mine: the Eickhorn mark, C. Glauth signature, In Frankfurt a/M and the Boar head.
