Late 1800s Hunting / Forestry Cutlass

SOLD!

The overall condition of this late 1800s Forestry Cutlass, or sometimes referred to as simply a German hunting knife, is superb! The stag grip is without flaw, sporting three acorn devices. The hoof design cross guard leads into the clamshell, which shows a very ornately carved design of what I believe is an Elk.

The overall condition of this Forestry Cutlass, or sometimes referred to as simply a German hunting knife, is superb! The stag grip is without flaw, sporting three acorn devices.

The hoof design cross guard leads into the clamshell, which shows a very ornately carved design of what I believe is an Elk.

The blade of the cutlass still shows the faint etching of a hunting scene on both sides, as well as a leaf pattern down the length of the flat side oposite the blade’s edge. There are no maker marks to note, although the blade grip shaft has a reverse stamped “C.E.”.

The portepee (or knot) is in extremely good condition, with no frays, rips, or much wear of any kind, and no signs of ever having been removed. Good quality and color that can only be appreciated by seeing it first-hand.
