The hirschfänger in the link is a rather well worn Imperial piece, circa 1890-1910 in my opinion.

Cheers

Baz69 is right. While these hunting daggers were still worn during the III.R. (period photographs do proof this) the manufacturing date without any doubt is before III.R. times, most likely in the imperial times (due to some details and the style of the engraving).
