What the record saysThe source listing for this piece does not state whether it is original or a reproduction. That is a gap in the paperwork, not a judgement about the object.

Field Notes

This record names Solingen and When the record gives no date.

Offered here is an antique early 19th century German hunting short sword / dagger, attributed to J.A. Henckels (Solingen), one of the most respected German edged weapon and cutlery makers. Pieces by Henckels from this early period are highly regarded and collectible.

The blade features engraved decoration, consistent with hunting and sidearm weapons of the early 1800s. Blade form, engraving style, and overall construction align well with early 19th-century German manufacture, particularly Solingen production.

The hilt and fittings display period-appropriate craftsmanship, and the weapon is well-balanced for its size. The piece is accompanied by its sheath, which appears period and shows honest age-related wear consistent with the age of the dagger.

Condition:

Blade shows age patina and surface wear consistent with use and age

Engraving remains visible

Sheath shows wear, handling marks, and aging

A fine and scarce example of an early 19th-century German engraved hunting dagger / short sword by J.A. Henckels, suitable for collectors of antique European edged weapons.
