Help identifying the age of this German hunting dagger

ASPaulding · 27th July 2022, 04:50 PM

Hello I purchased this dagger and I do not know the age. It was made by CLEMEN & JUNG. The company made dagger from 1860 to 1944. The engraving says "A gift for a general Jagdschutz Dereins" I don't know if it's from a World War or 19th century. Any help you can provide would be appreciated
Thank you

The "Allgemeine Deutsche Jagdschutzverein" has been founded in 1875 and celebrated its 50 years jubilee in 1925. The engraving says "Ehrengeschenk" (gift of honour), so I think that your "Hirschfänger" was made for this jubilee when it was a gift for one of the founding members.
