Lot 256: A German stag horn-handled hunting knife with leather sheath and packaging

A hunting knife featuring a steel clip-point blade with a recurved edge and a deep choil notch. The handle is constructed with natural stag horn scales secured to the tang by three pins. The knife is housed in a brown leather sheath featuring a leather wrap cord and metal rivets. The item is presented in a yellow plastic tray with a translucent green lid. A fragment of a German-language document is included, bearing black printed text including the characters sind, aus ein, geh, G, st, m, 5 au, hneidl, te Ha, Sicher, Messe, and en. The blade features marks near the bolster which are not clearly legible due to surface wear and reflections. A white adhesive inventory sticker reading 12876 is attached to the handle scales. A lot sticker from Sheldon Auctioneers with the number 256 is present on the green lid.
