I have found an image that is a match for the unmarked Hirschfanger shown above with an etch used by C. E. Schmachtenberg.

The thread by Baz69 (Gary), "Braunschwegischer Gala Hirschf�nger" posted 02/07/2007, on page 13 of the Hunting, Forestry, and Shooting Forum, shows this same pattern was made by WK&C and is also listed as Imperial Eickhorn pattern # 164.

The etch on the WK&C example has a different scene from the above known C. E. Schmachtenberg etch.
