A fine German hunting dagger featuring a stag horn grip (Hirschhorn) decorated with three large brass acorn appliqués — a classic motif of traditional hunting weapons. The brass guard is elegantly shaped with curved quillons, showing a pleasing natural patina.

The blade is straight and broad, with high-quality deep etched hunting motifs: forest scenery, deer, dogs — all characteristic of German hunting daggers of the period. Blade condition is excellent, with crisp, clear etching.

The scabbard is leather-covered with brass throat and tip, accompanied by its original leather frog and metal suspension hardware — a feature not always preserved.

A very attractive and well-preserved example of German hunting edged weapons.
