knife

Hi guys I have been looking at alot of knives recently and have noticed some rivet heads can be slightly flat on top, is this a bad sign or normal? This pic shows a knife I was very keen on but is tampered with or original? Also there is no date that I can see.

I found a knife earlier today for sale online just over £700, it was decent quality but what struck me was it had a high ricasso, had an rzm but no logo and was dated 1936 with the motto! Is it possible to get such a knife? I understand the Blut und Ehre was still around but I presumed the...

Hi there I found a lovely knife for sale however the leather buffer pad is missing, it is an early knife with no ricasso, nice looking blade that I would like to pick up. I wanted to know could it be replaced as I presume these were put on during production? Also the knife is over £500 pounds...

I need help authenticating this dagger. RZM M7/42 1940 dated dagger. Magnetic scabbard with paper inside, diamond does not wiggle, diamond shows wear but there is still gold that remains and can be seen upon close up inspection. What are your thoughts? Is this a real HJ knife? Also I put it...

Hi Huys, I need your opinions. It´s original or not? The motto is different from the known knives. Thank you for your comments.

Good Afternoon, I am looking for a first HJ Knife and was wondering what is the make of choice. I have collected various items in the past and started at the bottom and worked my way up to quality. This time I want to start at a decent level so I don't feel the need to upgrade at a later date.

Am I missing something? Have these people no shame at aLL? found this one surfing around, on a well known dealers site for a cracking price of £495 might as well flush your money down the drain:mad2:

I was looking around the internet at various dealer websites last night, and found one dealer selling a knife (at a quite high cost) that made me look twice. I have been collecting HJ for a fer years but do not consider myself an expert as there is ALWAYS more to learn. But here is my question...

Hi, I'm a New Zealand writer working on a novel based at the end of the Second World War. I have seen a lot of mentions of kit inspections for Hitler Youth but haven't managed to find a list of what was actually in a kit. Anyone have any ideas? I understand that the HY were presented with a...

Hi all, I would appreciate if you could give me your opinion about the following HJ knife by Gottlieb Hammerfahr. What do you think? All opinions really appreciated.

Step son collects historic knives, always wanted a HJ knife. So found a nice example from a reputable dealer. I can get money back if not happy. However this knife is in very good condition genuine scabbard gold border insignia which rattles when tapped, RZM M7/51/40, appropriate wear where...

Hi Guys A bit of help please. I got this HJ in, all seems good apart from the handle, which has been split, and glued. Could the diamond be fake? I have not got a warm fuzzy feeling. Although the knife itself is fine, my concerns lie with the handle A "no motto" M7/112 Thanks

I was wondering of I could get some opinions on the authenticity of this HJ knife. All of the RZM markings I have seen seem to be closer to the base of the blade. other than that, to me it seems ok. Other opinions?

Those who know me, know that I am the type of collector that does not, necessarily, seek out the most pristine examples of items. I don't mind if a helmet shows that it was dragged across Europe, or, especially, if an HJ knife saw a camping trip or two. So, enters in my new addition to my HJ...

Hello We propose that Hj knife sheath repainted c is on RZM M7 / 72 KARL ROBERT Kaldenbach, SOLINGEN-Gräfrath The badge does not move, but I have a little doubt on the badge, I find different compared to what I have already met. Thank you for your help SEPPI72

Group , Has anyone ever seen a trans or late HJ that has a very hard rubber type of buffer washer ? I have seen mostly leather , some felt. The other day I was looking at a HJ and the buffer washer was made of a very hard rubber material. Probably the hardest type of a rubber material I have...

Has anyone ever proved that those knives are some type of fantasy knife ? I have heard some say they think they are fakes because because no pictures exist of soldiers wearing them. But this is not a type of military knife but a souvenir knife Looks like three of the biggest names in the hobby ...
