scabbard

I'm pretty sure the knife I have is real, but what are the chances that it was actually used? RFS/3 Mölln is craved into the scabbard but I don't know if the Hitler Youth from that area were used during the war. I never really studied Hitler Youth in detail, but if I remember right, Hitler...

Hi! guys. Im new on this forum and could use some help. Got this 3 daggers from a trade and he claims that they are genuine? The makers are: E&F Hörster P Lungstrasse Unmarked One scabbard is made in aluminium? Where there made scabard both in steel and aluminium during ww2? I hope the photos...

I was recently given this HJ Knife by someone who was aware that I had an interest in them and that he had purchased in the 70's. On looking at the scabbard, it was obvious that it was not original, but the knife did not jump out at you as a fake like many of the ones that you see in fairs. I...

Heres a hj i picked up over xmas late 1941 dated Herder marked with RZM M7/18 & logo on blade. a well used knife with repaired grip on reverse, nice complete diamond, scabbard has good paint but unfortunately i broke the snap, it was just too fragile although its still there at least

My first HJ purchases, and probably my worst. I got them both for about $100. I typically collected SA daggers, but I am annoyed by the cost. Thus I have decided to focus on HJ. First off, the one looks like a steak knife. It was grinded down a bit, but has a maker mark (M with 2 leafs...

Here's my second HJ, an Anton Wingen Jr. complete with motto, wiggly diamond, and magnetic hilt. The bottom handle grip was broken but glued together, and had one rivet (bottom) that is slightly higher then the other. The scabbard is painted a silver/blue color, with bare metal underneath (no...

hey, I have a question, I heard that the Scabbard for a NSJV hj knife is thicker then de most usual.. and the material is also not iron.. Is this correct? Or is this fake , because it looks fine.. I have no pictures.. I've seen this on a fair Regards

Just taken this in part trade. Late war, 2 scabbard runners, nice LFS stamp on hanger, blade appears unmarked, still with nice shape and the diamond is perfect. cracking to the grips but they remain complete and inplace, rivets all clean. I actually really like it, certainly got character...

Hello All ..... whats the groups feelings on the knife in the attached photos? So far I've seen both positive and negative comments but whats the bottom line? Thanks for your input as I am learning a lot by just looking at your posts. John

My favourite maker mark M7/40 Hartkopf I think the hanger may have been replaced at some point, its quite thin leather but i think period, the knife and scabbard is in very gd condition, my most £££ HJ found it on a South African Auction site

Nice early one with Motto Hilt shows classic wear from the metal snap on the hanger Snap is also a classic STOCKO marked piece Deep brown leather Perfect grips and rivets Repainted scabbard

Admin edit: Subsequent to this thread in 2016 a HJ-Wiki was installed on the forum. This includes a page dedicated to the HJ knife which now includes a lot of the information given by Mike below plus a load more. The aim of this thread is to show which areas need to be examined when...

Sehr Geehrte Kameraden, just allow me to show you my first HJ knife(*), a post 1939 one, with Hersteller RZM M7/13 (Arthur Schüttelhofer & Co., Solingen-Wald) (**) It is just the knife and as you can see, it is a bit broken, BUT, it feels EXCELLENT. I just love each part, each cm of it. Have...

Hi Comrades!!! I am looking for a Hitler Youth knife Scabbard so I need your help with this. Pleaseeeee!!! What do you think from the scabbards below? Thanks in advance. Best Regards Antonio

I found this scabbard together with other stuff. On WAF it has been identified as a scabbard for a NPEA dagger, so I thought to share. The paint looks quite old, but it seems that it has been repainted anyway.

Some people believe that the small knives with the diamond on the scabbard were carried by DJ boys and some don't. I don't believe in them personally and I thought I'd share some timeline and general information. The only knife carried by the DJ and HJ according to regulations was the...
