Last night I found an "Antique German Germany 19 Century Engraved Hunting Dagger Knife w/ Scabbard" listed on a popular auction site.

This unmarked 19th century German hunting cutlass has same hunting scene etch on the blade as my "C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen" hunting dagger.

The etch is in better condition than my blade so I am posting these pictures. If anyone has a blade with this hunting scene etch on a German edged weapon, I would like to see it.

It is possible that this unmarked 19th century hunting cutlass was also made by C. E. Schmachtenberg, Solingen. It has stag handle with D-guard and is about 21 3/8" with a blade length of 15 7/8".

I will next post the 3 close-up photos of the blade etch in detail.
