Thanks for the link. I guffawed loudly when I saw that. Firstly, he doesn't know what an "original sack" looks like. No one does. Secondly, he is asking the reader to make a leap of faith and accept that the knife has been in or next to that specific bag since before May 1945. Thirdly:
I have placed a "DJ/BdM" knife next to the packet of a popular biscuit.
"Jaffa" knife?
What he is showing there is a dodgy "DJ/BdM" knife next to a paper bag with "Regulation knife for the Hitler Youth and the Deutsches Jungvolk" on it. This is just a standard knife bag. It proves nothing about these little"DJ/BdM" knives. It certainly doesn't prove what he is saying in the blurb on his site.
If he is as interested in collectors and in history as he says then he could begin by acknowledging the error he made in telling people that the HJ knife was in production pre-1933. That claim is still on his site nearly a year after it was discussed here and on WAF and the knife is currently on hold. Oh, and as he currently has so many up for sale, find some proof that Olympic and RPT knives are from the period...
Oh, fourthly, if he had a photo of a Jungvolk boy wearing one of these knives, it would have been in one of the dagger books years ago or at least have been shown/discussed on a forum by now. I submit that the photo is a phantom like the Johnson letter.
Edit: post amended to include a translation of the wording on the bag.
