German ? hunting dagger for ID

[M ELEY]

Very nice piece! Although not technically a hanger, still classified as a hirshfanger, I would imagine. Judging from the simplicity of the crossguard and style, I'd wager 1750-1800. There were earlier types like this in trousses, likewise similar types into the 19th c, but I feel confortable with the dates I presented...until someone else comes along and proves me wrong!

Hello Fernando K and M ELEY

Thank you for your comment.
The shell is 45 mm * 35 mm and the blade 32 mm wide.

Doesn't it look like a military bayonet blade ?
... Mounted in the German style, with the scallop shell langet ?
Sorry if i am talking nonsense .

I know nothing of German hunting items but my first thought when I saw this was that the blade looked to be profiled exactly like a bayonet blade. It also looks slightly offset in some of the pictures. If it is, then maybe a bayonet expert will recognize it. Like Fernando says, this could be nonsense though.

Thank you all for your opinion I will continue to trying to find a picture for a similar example.

No nonsence at all: this was quite common during the early 20th century, and they are still being produced today.
