Hello, I'm hoping someone here can help me find the rest of this Maker's Mark page (pictured)... A few years ago I was able to find the whole thing and identify the mark on my imperial Carl eickhorn hunting Cutlass (pictured)

 

I remember there was more to the chart of maker marks and in particular the Mark of the two squirrels opposing each other without the (CE) below like on mine.... Thanks

The maker mark that is on your cutlass is the back to back squirrels without the "C.E." as a Weimar Republic period marking.  Bear in mind that Eickhorn used a variety of maker markings, using new-old-stock (NOS) blades during Imperial and Weimar Republic times.  Eickhorn was in business from 1865 until today.  The back to back squirrel over C.E. was granted by the Deutsches Patenampt on 19 June 1908,   The C.E was omitted by grant in 1921 according to John Walter, "The sword and bayonet makers of Imperial Germany 1871-1918".  So, a Weimar Republic marking.

Thank you Sarge for the quick response... I knew that the back-to-back squirrels without the CE mark below was the earlier one... And I know I had seen the same markings as pictured above but I could not find it anywhere. The one that I seen before was the same except for it. Seemed like it had more markings on it and one of them was the one in question without the CE. Mark.... Thanks again
