Hörster Type 1

[gerrit]

Ron, I would be curious to know if on these dagger early versions there is the H marking on the crossguard and the pommel as on type 2 for example.
could you confirm or not ?
Thank you
Regards.

I do not advice to open up daggers like these just to look at cast markings, as we all know that this is a Hörster Type 1, lots of these early daggers have grips that became one with the tang and removing them with force can damage the grip.

Sorry I just wanted to know if Ron knew anything about these markings that's all ...
excuse me for this mystique !
Ger, maybe you know something about this ?

Mitsu,

I don’t know if there are casting marks on the crossguard.
I don’t take daggers apart.
As Gerrit stated we know what it is so it makes no sense to open it.

Prut,

Ron

Mitsu it are just casting markings. There is nothing special about that.
I can understand that you are eager to find out these things.

Prut,

Ron
