F.Dula Waidbesteck & Henckels Bowie hunting knife

This F.Dula is probably one of the hardest to find hunting knives produced pre- and during the Third Reich period.
The scabbard is a true piece of art and the quality of this set is magnificent.
The Henckels Bowie is a very early one, the earliest one with this peticular shape by Henckels i have seen has a date on it: 1898 (damast blade with dedication), this knife is also made with a very high level of craftmanship, a true quality hunting dagger.
Both dagger have the buttonhole in the back of the leather strap, very common these days.
I will let the pics do the talking.
Enjoy these rare pieces!

The combination Bowie and skinner are a work of art. This is very entrancing to look at. I dont think another example could be found.

Guys, here is a Tiger hunting blade I've had a long time, and to be sure, posted prior in a grouping. If you'll have any info it would be great. I do think it is a rather old example etc.

Finding an F. Dula in any condition is exceeding difficult but it's even harder to find one in such nice condition, congrats on a wonderful acquisition.

An excellent knife by any way that you look at it, but I have to say, that I think that I like the sheath even better than the knife itself! What a fine bit of leather work!
