European Manufacturers
Hi David, thanks for your answer.
But I am not sure we need to look in Europe. As far as I know, the following European manufacturers made the Dutch Klewang: Germany: • P D Lűneschloss • RMM (Rheinische Metallwaaren- und Maschinenfabriek ) • Alexander Coppel • WKC (Weyersberg & Kirschbaum) • Carl Kaiser & Co • Aug & Alb. Schnitzler • Carl Eickhorn • E & F Hörster Netherlands: • Hembrug None of these have the Hammer & Anvil maker mark and I could not find the maker mark in "German knife and sword makers" from Carter. I am not sure if it is allowed for me to add a foto as the klewang is for sale and it is not mine. I was under the impression that the klewang was post 1945 but that is based on no more than a feeling. Over the last 3-4 years I've seen 3 klewangs with this trademark being offered on Dutch market sites. All had very thin hilt baskets and did not seem to have had any rust protection. |
