German Senior Foresters Cutlass by ACS Alcoso Solingen

This Senior Foresters Cutlass by ACS is in EXC++ condition throughout. The total length is 46.4 cm. The Cutlass has the maker mark Alcoso Solingen.

Grip: The grip plates on this cutlass are of fine stag antler. This antler is a dark coffee color speckled with lighter color grains. The areas where the grips were trimmed have turned to a golden tone. The plates have three applied acorns. These acorns are the type that have caps and leaves on the top. This very substantial Forestry Cutlass is of all fine quality brass construction. The “D” guard is basically plain but for a lined border. Both ends of this guard terminate in stylized deer hooves. The fur on these hooves has good hand-enhanced detailing. The ferrule has a series of similar line decorations.

Blade: The slab sided blade of this cutlass is 33,3 cm in length. This blade is a in EXC condition and having triple etching. The obverse etch depicts the familiar hunter, outfitted with a rifle and a cutlass, running after a wild boar which is being harried by his hunting dogs. The reserve ricasso of the blade is deeply stamped with the ACS trademark of the Alcoso Solingen firm, and the original brown leather blade washer is in place.

Scabbard: The scabbard shell is of black leather which shows little age. The leather is sewn up the rear and is decorated with twin accent lines that run down the edges of both sides. The matching brass scabbard mounts are relatively plain except for scalloped edges where they meet the shell. The upper mount is equipped with a fine lug in the shape of an acorn with a detailed cap. The lower mount is decorated with twin lines. These mounts are retained by staples in the usual fashion.
