Whatever period it is from I think it's essential to find and obtain as many period references as you can, if I cannot find a period reference then I'll buy a repop.
This Waffenfabrik Max Weyersberg reference came in today,dated 1935 it lists a few items they made at that time including there forestry and hunting hirschfängers, I know that I have been beaten many times to period catalouges in the last few years Frown on German ebay by another forum member, perhaps he would like to contribute towards this thread as I would like to see what other makers hirschfängers looked like from all periods. So Damast I hope you still have them and are willing to show us some scans.

Cheers Big Grin

Gary

G.,

Great stuff there!

What's number 823 listed as? Don't think I've seen one of these examples first hand..?

These catalogs should be a collector's best friend.

Thanks!

Bill

823 is not listed as anything specific but it is a Baden hirschfänger pattern, one of these in so-so condition just went through the last Herman Historica auction, now it's on H Weitze site.
The little shorty to the side of it though is mentioned as a Sachsen förster hirschfänger neus Modell.
What I haven't seen before is a WKC ADJV Ehrenhirschfänger Pattern 103, now thats one I would like to find in decent condition.

Thanks

G.

Yes, I still have my catalogs from the 1880's on up. Even have a phone (Address book) for Solingen 1936 (little different I guess) I have been buying old cataloges etc... since the 70's

Hi Damast

You must have a wonderful collection, can you post some scans of hirschfängers for us to see, I love reference, I get as much a buzz from a catalouge as I do a hirschfänger.
I believe you picked up a Original Imperial Eickhorn catalouge a few months ago, a very rare catalouge indeed.

Thanks

Gary
