Rommy,
As John pointed out there's a fair-size gap at the lower end of the stag grip plates at the crossguard. Most times these fit like a glove. The horn itself looks original and has some fine color and age toning. Could it be the angle of the photos and original cut that emphasises this gap? not sure..?
A couple of straight, head-on photographs should clear up that issue. The patina and wear to the finish are also consistent with proper age. All in all, it seems to be a nice looking example of an original, pre-1945 Eickhorn forestry Hirschf�nger.
Did you buy it or are you thinking of buying? Thanks for letting us have a look.
Regards,
Bill
