Two nice rare HENCKELS that are really copper tone and nickel but they are like gold and silver to an old collector.

Photograph #5 The acorns on both of them look like they are hand carved in both the nickel and brass and both types are shaped slightly different.

Your model in the Henckels catalouge is listed as Versilberte Garnitur, translated as silver plated, so I presume the piece showing the gold accents is probably where the silver has been worn away.It's pattern # is 8862 with a blade length of 15.5", cost at the time was 47.50DM, an extreme amount of money during both the Imperial and Weimar periods. It's a pattern that I have been searching for for quite sometime, one of these went through the last Herman Historica auction, I believe it was missing the skinning knife and still sold for around $3000. Of some interest is the difference within the clamshell area, possibly they changed clamshells between the Imperial and Weimar periods and certainly the blade etches are different between these two periods. Slight differences within the two top scabbard mounts are also interesting, perhaps this was just within the manufacturing process during these times. Lets hope some others have this pattern so we can examine more closely these differences. I see from your website that you also have the other pattern in this series with the lionhead, now there's a pattern that I know others have and we can compere them.
Thanks for posting such rare and beautiful hirschfängers.
Gary
