F.W. HӧLLER
F.W. Holler Long - Single Etch - Small OPENED Winged Eagle
As with the small closed winged Eagle example on this menu, this piece is also not trademarked by Holler. Having no trademark was not unusual for FW Holler or Robt. Klaas to offer their clientele.
And we know positively this was FW Holler produced as the etch has the unique arrowhead bookends associated with this company. The smaller open winged Eagle with Swastika Wreath is centered with the Remembrance Motto split on each side of the Eagle image.
The condition of this example, in my opinion, would be Exc.+++. Most all of the plating is present and the etch is beautiful to appreciate on the blade. There are two small circular areas where plating is missing on the obverse (see pictures) however, the etch itself is all there and the balance of the blade is Mint. Hilt as all plating and red felt is in the rifle slot. There is a very, very small "wobble" in the ricasso/hilt area.
It is so minor, but in honesty, I will mention. FW Holler sold this exact etch to other companies including WKC for their retail.
