Hunting hanger owned by Rear Admiral J.A. Zoutman
Summary
A hunting hanger with a straight blade was used to deliver the final blow to cornered or wounded game. The hanger’s convenient format and often fine execution also made it popular outside the world of hunting. The deer, the wild boar and the hounds on the blade of this sword are clear references to the hunt.
