Looks good. Here's a page from the 1908 Carl Eickhorn catalogue.

Wow that is awesome looking. Would love to know more about it and it's construction. Checked myself and info is tough to find. Love the ornate style and engraving. looks like a valuable piece. Thanks for sharing.

Does this not belong with the scabbard ?
It appears in the photo that the ricasso stops right at the throat of the scabbard upper fitting.
Other than that a Unigue variant rarely seen.

-- WOW! That is the likes of EXACTLY what I was wanting to see. There it is on the far right clear as day -- number 784!! I see both of these knife examples came with a variant that included the smaller utility knife. Very interesting! Thank you for this invaluable picture Anderson. Bravo.

-- I'm slowly learning more as I go along mauser. I suppose if I understood German there'd be much more I could unearth with Google searches. The image that Anderson posted was huge. I've long searched hundreds of photos but never saw a similar example. Close, but none with the stag's head. I was beginning to doubt its authenticity. It's also rare to see the accompanying utility knife as well (and in such great condition.)
And yes, I was blown away by the ornate design and quality construction. The overall condition and blade engraving on both sides is exquisite. It was a pricey acquisition coming in around the $5,000 Canadian dollar range but my instincts were telling me to purchase it.

-- I'm convinced it's the proper scabbard Larry. I'll throw up some more pics that better display it. It is a SNUG fit. From what I can see the blade slides down between sheets of wood?? and then comes to rest with the most perfect of fits. You really have to pull to slide the blade out or sheath it again.

That would be the top of the opening for the knife Larry.

Figured it was a pricey blade. Pic posted by Anderson is great. Google up the writing for more possible info. Looks gold plated. Sure looks like a wealthy man's hunting knife.
