I dont think much of these, the lines in the hanger are just like the hangers on repro fighting knives
 
I can not say anything about the knife but it seems clear that the scabbard is a reproduction.....:mad2:
 
as i said on your last post regarding this dagger, i beleive they are post war made. however some people like them but i persoanlly would not have one inmy collection unless i found photographic proof that they excisted , i mean look at all the pics from the olympics from that year but never has a pic of these been found
 
A bit late on this thread, but no, i don't like them either. The internet site that the first-post pics are taken from, is Rainers site, admittedly he has fallen for a few baddies these past months, but in General, he is a STAND-UP GUY. One of the very very minute, very minute German collectors that i get along with and respect. The main problem is, when a big name publishes them as being Good, (Johnson) they become good. The question of why someone with so many decades of experience would publish them as being good, is, i guess, left up to personal interpretation. The etched 1935 Reichsparteitag Knives were also just recently published as being Genuine, so there you go. Good for Gardening i guess.
 
They really look nice , but I would not waste my money unless there is SOLID PROOF !
 
You know I bet this is some of the stuff that was sold at the souvenir shops during the Olympics.Not an official issue HJ knife but a German souvenir.But I would think some of our experts on this site would have seen others and in all the books I have on the 36 Olympics I have never seen one of these before.I sort of like them if they are real I want one.
