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 knife collection, which is not plentiful, as I tend to not 'hoard' the same type of items in my collection. But I found this one the other day, the price was right (after some negotiating), and I just like an HJ knife that has been thrown against a tree or two, to see if it can be made to stick, and other things that boys did with their camping knives.
The blade has obviously been ruined (appearently to 'clean' it), so the motto and maker are extremely hard to make out.
But, sometimes I like items that others may pass on, because of condition issues. As long as the authenticity is there, all the items were around Europe's Reich some 70+ years ago. So historically, they are all valuable to me. Besides, the diamond is still in decent condition, and has the ubiquitous 'wiggle'.
Here are some photo's of my 'not so proud and perfect HJ knife.
