Hi Wachmann,

Did you ever find any more information on this last, early Hirschf�nger? I hope you've found someone to ask? The Jagd Museum in Bayern should have some very qualified personel to help you, yes? I know some of the European forgers are very adept at just this kind of thing so you must be careful when paying large sums for early or almost any pieces for your collection.

Best regards!

Bill
