A very fine example for a German Aristocrat hunter of the mid to late 1800s, most likely a private purchase piece ordered by an exclusive design, having a bowie knife type blade of fine German Damascus steel with wonderful etched decorations of forest, hunting scenes and hunter's attributes, blued for its entire length which is exceptionally rare to see and showing active watered damascus patterns in the unblued areas of the steel. Both sides of ricasso with an engraved maker's name "Wilms". In it's German silver mounts with a steel guard and carved deer stag grip, scabbard housing a smaller skinner knife which might be a later replacement as most of the times the original skinner knives are lost. Fine piece, definitely on top of the Hunting knives list we have ever encountered.
Overall : 20 1/2"  Blade : 13 1/2"
