UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum Anton Wingen Jr. "Deutscher Brummer" "42er"

Note the last line from the German author of the above post; " Ich besitze den selben aber in einer Minderem Qualität ich persönlich ordne meinen in die 2. Periode ein."

I believe he is saying that his "Deutscher Brummer" is of lesser quality and from the 2nd period of production, 1930's / 1940's.

The picture he posted of his knife shows an etch that is similar to the 1930's catalog. See that the Capital letters "D" and "B" do not have the long-extended line at the bottom of the letters as seen in the original etch. Also, the letters look slimmer than the original. The Artillery shell maybe not as pointed as the original?

I have posted the picture of his knife from Facebook. The reverse of his knife posted on Facebook looks like there is no maker's mark.

The second picture is my "Deutscher Brummer" "42er" with "Anton Wingen Jr., Fabrik Feiner Stahlwaren, Solingen" maker's mark on the reverse.
