HIRSCHFANGER CLAM SHELL CRESTS - 09/06/2008 08:24 PM
When you collect the hunting daggers and swords you seem to come across many types of crests. There are books on crests that prove over the hundreds of years of hunting in Europe with the main focus on Germany that the hunting grounds were guarded and protected by large groups of Royalty and Government. I will start this post with a group of clam shells with crests that I have no idea of their being or meaning. Hopefully it can grow as others add to it so this form will have an additional information chapter that others can refer to and enjoy. Please add any new photographs of the crests on the daggers in your collections.
Sincerely,
HUBERTUS
