Description

Hardware made of cupronickel (nickel silver) is characteristic of early items, typically manufactured before 1936. Due to limited production runs, high manufacturing quality, and noble appearance, such items are traditionally valued by collectors more highly than their later counterparts.

E. & F. Horster - a German weapons manufactory from Solingen, founded in 1850, which became one of the largest manufacturers of edged weapons for the armed forces of the Third Reich. The company produced daggers and dirks for the DLV, NSFK and Luftwaffe, as well as for combat, political and paramilitary organizations.
