Back in the mid-80's, when I lived in Bavaria, I did a lot of Volksmarching, which is a German pastime of walking 5-10-20km thru the woods on the weekends. They have clubs and competitions, and everybody gets a trinket at the end of the hike. and you pins for benchmarks reached (100km, 500km, etc). I did it with friends, and since everyone gets beer and food at the end, it was a really good way to work off a late Friday or Saturday night.

I had lederhosen, and a checked shirt, and the traditional loden hat with all my pins in it. I never much cared for the fixed Jagdnecker, but my pants had a perfect pocket for this folder, and it's seen a lot of Europe walking around.

I have used Google and there is some information out there but some of the really good looking info is in German, and I can read very little German, anyone know how to translate websites?
 
Chrome offers a translate button. You can also make a word document out of the writing and then translate that. Some of the bigger websites, like FranconiaJagd have English as an option.
 
Eyed on few new production ones at Munchen. They were not so great unfortunately. Great beautiful city with lots of culture, but rude people.
 
A.L. sorry about the attitudes of some people, I live near Frankenmuth Michigan. we get people from all over the world passing through, it’s kind of amazing living in a more countryside part of Michigan but still going to the next town over and meeting people from all around the world. some people think that our “Little Bavaria” is a tourist trap but a lot of the people I know absolutely love it. although I may be a little biased ;) That’s where I started getting more interested in to German culture.(also about 60% of my ancestors were German despite none of them living in Frankenmuth) About the nicker still Looking for one I think instead of ordering a brand new one I’m gonna try and get my hands on a quality vintage one at the next local gun/knife show I go to.
 
Those pocket-sheathes with the separate belt frog are very cool.(in the link)

I come across nickers occasionally with the decayed deer foot for a handle, which of course means a narrow tang as well.

I'm also friend of Germany, so I hold no grudges. :)
I think Muncheners were pretty pissed about tourism. Lot of the service there was just plain rude. I even remember one old lady cussing and saying "why don't you talk German!". The countryside was much friendlier and the pace was slower. In Munchen I experienced the "German effectiveness" and there was no laid back, chatty lifestyle at all. Cultural differences perhaps, or my slowness.
