    Default Eickhorn Wrangel Dove Head Pattern # 1693 - Max Show Find

    Hello Gents ..this was my first find of the max show on a Thursday afternoon when the show was somewhat slow.
    I found this Gem in the same condition as I have shown from last years Scharnhorst pattern...and this one is the same in quality , craft and having a brass hilt.

    A Guy who rented a table had quite a few of these Eickhorn swords all having brass hilts...coming from a doctors collection.
    Also in that mix was a rare and low production sword " Zeiten " Model number 1734.
    I was going to snap that one up first..but the scabbard paint was quite worn and missing in some places...until I seen the Wrangel Pattern.

    On the scabbard appears to be the owners name " Kolsch " scratched into the paint...why a Heer officer would do that I dont know.
    Below are a few pics of this sword.

    Regards Larry

    Great find Larry. Quite a lot of gilt survives on the hilt, so hasn't been handled too much. Nice one.

    Great find my friend! I think I congratulated you when you bought it. Nicer than my Wrangel as I said.

    Hi Radko....yes ...now that I know there is a Lions Head Wrangel example...that will be my next Max Show Quest.

    Interesting detail I just noticed..that the grip eagle head on my example faces towards the left and yours faces towards the right?
    So now its possibly a matter of having all 3 types as a set.

    Thankyou for showing your example which showed me something I never noticed before.

    Regards Larry

    Larry, When writing about the Wrangel with its head, you probably mean the 1695 pattern. But I'll disappoint you here, it also has 2 versions with its head left and right It's worth collecting, there are at least 6 versions of the Roon Eickhorn model alone.
    Anyway, I haven't managed to collect all the patterns and their versions yet, but I'm on the right track and I wish the same for you.
