– Good morning War Relics. I acquired this piece from the collection of a man offloading some of his fine pieces. I’m trying to learn all I can about the piece but information is tricky to come by. I’ve never seen the stag’s head that’s located on the cross guard on any other example thus far. The JA Henckels logo lends me to believe the knife is in the 1900 and beyond range. Another oddity is the #15 stamped under the "staples" located under both the locket and chape.
