Ethnographic Arms & Armour - View Single Post - old german (?!) hunting sword/dagger to date

Hello everybody,

I have bought this small hunting sword with his small knife
but I'm not sure about age, exact origin and metal for the hilt and scabbard mounts.

I think it is a german model, look 18th century ( ?!) but the small knife seems really recent ( there is a ''T'' stamped cf pictures) so maybe 20th century ?,
for the hilt, there is a 13 engraved, does it mean steel, silver alloy, silver ?

Kind regards

Francesco
