ray skin with a gold wire wrap. The gold and blue sword knot is present. The back edge of the guard folds down and interlocks with the scabbard,<br />

which is a black finished, mildly crazed leather with three gilt brass fittings. The clips and buckles for the sword hanger are present but most<br />

that is bright steel with minor oxidation in spots. The grip is the white celluloid variation with silver plated guard and pommel, however the celluloid<br />

is cracked showing a wood core and the plating is heavily worn in spots. The plated steel scabbard rates excellent, though much of the plating<br />

is worn away. This is a nice example dagger with the earlier style white grip. (2789-250C)<br />

and hanger. This 14 1/2” long dagger is etched “F.W. Holler / Solingen” circular logo and has an unsharpened, double sided 10” blade that is<br />

bright steel. The blade has very light oxidation in spots, but could be cleaned very easily. The grip is the yellow celluloid variation with silver plated<br />

guard and pommel, however the plating is worn in spots. The plated steel scabbard rates excellent as well, and has most of its silver plating<br />

intact. Included is an original D.R.G.M. hanger with the oval buckles. This is an excellent piece overall and is made even better with the presence<br />

of an original hanger. (2789-250A)<br />

however the plating is worn in spots. The plated steel scabbard rates excellent, and shows some handling wear. This is an excellent example<br />

dagger showing very honest wear. (2789-250B)<br />

old. (3072-44)<br />

reproduction of an Native American Icon. At<br />

18” long it has a 7” long head with a 2 1/2”<br />

long blade face that has a false edge. The<br />

edge appears to be a hardened steel while the main metal of the head appears to be stainless, as well as the fitting and inlays. The<br />

head is engraved on both sides one with a character, the other with a bow, arrow, and drum. The bowl measures about 7/8” and<br />

is dark with some ash residue. The handle / pipe portion of this hawk is a striped hardwood and is finished in a medium maple<br />

or cherry finish. The handle is shaped to look like a leg, with the pipe ending in a foot, and holes at the toes, and base of the<br />
