German hunting knife

This is a very nice knife I bought on eBay. When it arrived it was much much larger than I expected. It's quite big compared to the deerfoot hunting knives that it reminded me of.

It was described as 1800s European, but I have my doubts. Of course, it could be. Or it could be a 20th century fighting knife, circa WW1?

Something tells me not, though. Something about it suggests it a good early hunting knife. Though it was described as a dirk, it seems to have a vestigial bowie clip point. It's very nicely made. The blade is beautiful. And the rest of is very neat indeed too.

I'm assuming it is German.

Does anybody recognise the maker's logo?
