on a lighter note...

would those be solingen knives?
Looks like it to me, if so I've got the same one as well. Gift from an uncle to my grandfather who passed it to me when he started giving stuff away towards his end of time.

Good observation.

Yes, mine was a Solingen. The one on my waist was lost many years ago.

I still have my Fathers which was larger and says Baron Solingen Germany. My Father bought them in Germany around 1960. This knife is almost to big to wear, but it has split a lot of sternums, pelvic bones, chopped wood, been a hammer, screwdriver and many other things in its life. It has pretty much been retired for years and sets in a deserving place in the trophy room.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
