Bone Grip - Fein ciselierter Hirschfänger für Forstbeamte by WKC of Solingen. This example is featured as Nr. 97 in the WKC Sales Catalog. The 13-inch long, triple etched blade on this one is really a work of art. The crisp and dark acid etched panels and spine provide a gorgeous display of: a hound chasing foxes in the forest along with two grouse (obverse), three does and a buck in the forest (reverse) and an oak leaf and acorn motif (spine). The blade is stamped with the maker mark to the obverse a Knight Head above “WKC”. The blade rates NM. It shows the odd bit of spotting and the typical scratches. The original brown leather buffer pad remains intact. The scabbard is made out of a stitched together black leather base with two stapled on brass scalloped fittings. The leather shows scuffs and scratches throughout. The reverse of each fitting is numbered “15” underneath the staple. The top obverse fitting features an acorn lug. The lower fitting has a bruise to the back side. The scabbard sits securely up against the hilt. The langet features a hound. The cast brass d-guard hilt has oak leaves throughout with a deer hoof to each end. The grip is made out of two choice bone plates that have three acorns to either side. The brass has all been gold gilded and beautifully matches in patina. This one comes with the correct black leather hanger. A wonderful example.
