[KB] Dehorned Siegfried

[Pierre Smolarski]

In my interpretation the 'de-horned Siegfried, is the vulnurable 
Siegfried. After he took a bath in the blood of the dragon, he became 
invulnurable (with the exception of a spot on his back, where a leaf 
prevented skin contact with the blood).  Hope this is helpful for you.

Take a look at this stamp (1933, Deutsches Reich):

Best wishes,
Pierre
