Both forms are widespread in Germany from the middle of the 19th.century up to the middle of the 20th.century .They change a bit in decoration but the pattern is the same.The first one refers to a servive uniform, the second one rather to a gala uniform where the grip scales often made from bone or even ivory.I don't think that H.G.had them in his hands because therefore they are too common Pieces of the time 1933 - 45 are rather highpriced in comparison to hunting swords from the imperial area.

They are lovely things. My eyes watered when I saw the pricing.

I have a letter from HG to my dad attesting to his ownership.

If you can exactely proove a close connection between the huntingswords and the
" Reichsjägermeister" that would drive the price to irrational heights.There are enough crazy boys out there in this crazy world willing to pay nearly everything.In some cases a "Ehrenhirschfänger" was given to hunters for special merrits.On the connected certificate you can find a facsimile signature.
