I got to see all of these and they were great, the Pack shooting hirschfänger is extremely rare, only seen a couple of these over the years, the DJ piece is also as rare as hens teeth, I know of only 3 of this maker. The Forestry's do appear but this one has the unique etch to pack and is in great condition, nice additions to your Pack collection, beautiful.

Ivan,
Looks like you scored big at the Max this year. You brought back some real gems!!! These are all in amazing condition.
Well done.
Rich
Nice and rare PACKs! Very interesting details on the DJ and the forest dagger.
If possible, please show us more of all, also the Shooting Assotiation!
BTW, the knot would be totally proper for the forest dagger but is improper for the Shooting dagger.
Regards,
Had the pleasure of holding these rare pieces, the foresters Hirschfanger has hand work like you wouldn't believe!! Congrats Ivan..Kevin
Ivan,
Beautiful pieces, good to see you did so well !!
Best!

Mr. Stingray: It was good to see you at the show! It looked like you were having a GREAT time! Seems we both found good things for our collections at the MAX..Regards: James
Thanks Guys
Wotan I will make some more pictures next week.
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Very nice score. Congratulations!
stingray, thank you so much for these additional pics. It is always a pleasure to study such scarce TM daggers. Even the DSchV has some hand ciseling at the acorns of the crossguard. PACK was one of the very few manufacturers which did this hand ciseling nearly during the whole period.
Congrats to these nice daggers.
Regards,
Just a great selection of Hirschfangers! Thanks for the great pics Ivan..Kevin.
Stingray,
Thank you very much for all of those great pictures. I knnow it was a lot of work showing them but I assure you it is appreciated by collectors.
Sincerely,
HUBERTUS
Ivan my friend you had one hell of a 2013 Max show the selection and rarity of items you picked up was astonishing. Not sure what was in the air but many collectors including myself had the best show they could remember in recent times.
