Can anyone tell me what is an Imperial Hunting Hirsch Fanger?

[AKWARRIOR]

They are special short swords or cutlasses.The Hunting and Forestry organizations under the German monarchy were often controlled by aristocrats and well-heeled businessman.They were generally not organizations habituated by the common man.The purposes were generally formed for the conservation of game and forestry.Elaborate hunts were great occasions for the well-heeled.The cutlasses of these Imperial organizations were often extremely ornate, or they could also be utilitarian, made to perform the final killing thrust on game.They have been around in many different forms for hundreds of years.These were also awarded on occasion at shooting competitions by rifle clubs.

Interesting and thank you.

I know the word hirsch essentially means stag and that makes sense for the hunting connection.
