old german (?!) hunting sword/dagger to date

francantolin · 18th November 2016, 10:28 AM

Hello Kronckew,

thank you for your message,
I will post some picures of the blade,

for the ''13'' hallmark, I think I was wrong:

the numerals were ''strange'': not a classic 1 and 3;
I think now that they are arabic numeral: a 4 and a 2 : so ''42'' will be written,
1842 ? 1942 ? Ottoman or north african ?...

( sure it looks like german daggers, the hilt form is oriental too ?)..

Kind regards
