ADJV (Allgemeiner Deutscher Jagdshutz Verein) the National hunting association in Germany from 1878-1934, Sometimes you just have to make a call, have it put into the post or make a 1000 mile round trip by car to pick it up, I chose the later, couldn't chance that it would be damaged, first of it's type that I have ever seen with a real "Urkunde" or "Ehrendiplom" loosely translated to an award certificate, I have owned a number of these "Ehrendiplom" and a fair few Ehren hirschfanger but never had one that actually mentioned a Ehrenhirschfänger as this one does and never the two together. This one comes from the rarely seen Alsace Lorraine area, this area changed hands between France and Germany from 1871 after the Franco Prussian war, again at the end of WW1 to France and again during WWII to Germany and finally ceded back to France after the war so finding an award certificate from the period before the end of WW1 is rare. If there are other ADJV award certificates out there mentioning a Ehrenhirschfanger I'd sure love to see them and even better if you have the Hirschfanger as well.
