E&F Horster for review please
I have this dagger and would like to know if it all matches . I am not very keen on daggers ( it could be fake ) so all input is appreciated . The scabbard has 1 screw in the back and most I have looked at have 2 side screws . Pommel ( has 14 leaves ) and cross guard are marked inside . Thanks ,
Dennis
Hi Raz ....you are correct on most Horsters having 2 side screws ...your example appears to match a later period example which the scabbard does have 1 flush backside screw....also Horster is known to internally mark their fittings.
The pommel leaves are correct ...but will Let Gerrit fill in the rest of the details if I missed any.
Regards Larry

Typical Type 2 by Hörster, as our book shows the type 2 comes with a backside screw, the type 2 is the most commmon one and this one has potmetal zink fittings.
So late production, nice to see the H cast markings inside the fittings.

Thank you Larry and Gerrit for confirming it as a matching set .
