Hi,

First time in this area. I got two what I think are forestry daggers in a group I just got. The skinny one is pretty neat with the etched blade and the very early Eichorn stamp.

The FAT one with the sawback and portapee is huge.. Any comments on originality and or "street value" is apprecitated.

Hi Chris

A couple close up shots of the fatter of the two pieces would help us determine what you have. The skinny one is a "Schützen"(Shooting association) hirschfänger probably from around the turn of the last century, value is around $450 if in really nice condition.

There is another one in the collection that is coming. I think it is called a Senior forestry?
