HITLER YOUTH KNIFE W/O MOTTO
Late-Period Hitler Youth Knife Without Motto by RZM M7/51/39 (Anton Wingen Jr.) The hilt appears to have a heavy steel base with a very nice nickel plating. It retains an attractive semi-patina with the plating grading 85%. The pommel shows minor surface/edge wear. NO worries! The black bakelite grip plates are as crisp as the day they were made and feature the enameled HJ insignia, which shows little signs of wear or age. The plates are retained by aluminum rivets with dressed obverse heads. The blade is nice and uncleaned. The blade and spine edges are crisp as is the tip! Unusual find on a HJ Knife! Stamped on the reverse ricasso is the small closed RZM circle. To the right of the circle is the Anton Wingen, Jr. code M 7/51/39. The 39 signifies the date that this knife was produced. Love dated pieces! The original thick black leather washer is intact. The shell is totally straight throughout! The original black paint grades 75% with most of the wear appearing to the obverse side. The dark brown leather hanger, retainer loop and pommel strap show wear/age, rating excellent. The snap clip is fully functional. A NICE collectible, late-period piece!
