Senior Forestry Hirschfanger : Unmarked but unquestionably by Tiger, Solingen. Lightweight aluminium based construction. Tho' unmarked, blade etching is identical to Tiger marked pieces with swastica ferrule. Senior forestry portepee remains in correct tie about crossguard.
   
   
Eagle with swastica ferrule is crude compared to pre-war manufacture, however rarity of these wartime produced pieces trumps quality. Beautiful blade etch is still crisp and clear with no signs of corrosion or runner wear.
   
   
Green felt blade washer remains in place within recess of the crossguard. Scabbard lug takes the form of a beautifully proportioned and executed acorn.
