This Forestry dagger took a major blow at the grip which dislocated it a bit causing a gap visual below the guard.
This early logo (without the oval) is accepted as being pre war, Hörster seems to etch and stamp their blades.
A bit of a rule is to only buy stamped logo's on hunting daggers, as etched ones are mostly post war.
This logo seems to be ok for pre 1945 production.
The exception to the rule is E.Pack, this company etched all their hunting daggers.
The gripplates seems to be made of bone, a cheaper variant to ivory, most hunting daggers used bone gripplates.

Thank you sir!
I admire your vast knowledge and kindness.
Do you think it's possible to remove the bone grip, bend the frame back to normal, and place the grip again?
Or should I leave it be and consider it as an old wound?
Regards

Just enjoy it as it is, it has a great blade and i would expose it outside the scabbard.
Dont mess with the frame, the material is old and becomes brittle, most likely it will break by bending.

Thank you for your advice!
I'll put it on my desk so that I can see the beautiful blade any time!
