Thank you for your comment! Your age guess surprised me a little bit, my careful guess was 1700's but you may know better. My hope is that someone could recognize the maker mark but we have to wait until I have it in my hands, the auction house only mentioned the mark but didn't provide a picture of it. A friend of mine thinks that it's a fighting dagger instead of a hunting knife.
Like you I also would like to read what others think about this knife!

Regards,
Detlef
