Not my area of collecting,but that is a super quality piece John.

Lovely patina.

Typical Schickle quality.Too bad they went out of buisness early in the war.

One of my favorite pieces is my Schickle Hilskreuzer award.

 

Regards,Martin.

Morning, Martin

As you say, pity that they went out of business.  The company's craftsmanship was superb.

Hilskreuzer......have I seen that one of yours?  If you can, please post.

The Schickle tombak HK is probably the rarest out there.I know of only two in collections.

Sadly,i still cannot post photo's on this forum.

Cheers,Martin.
