Nice piece Lou. It's very hard to find any type of animal/bird head Hirschfanger any more.

Lou, That would look good hanging on my wall. Most of the boar head pieces I see are plain blades and beat up pretty bad. Nice find. Yager

Sweet dagger Lou, I love then boarsheads as well and thats a particularily nice rendition of the keiler kopf. Nice find with the sash as well, thats another thing not normally found.

I like it.
