Voos (RZM M7/2) is probably the most copied maker of HJ's, I have seen many postwar versions.
The one shown here in relic condition is not an original: it is lacking the very typical ricasso of late Voos made HJ- knife, also the rivets (what is left from them) are not the right ones and the diamond insignia... well that we knew already.
Personally I believe that more can be learned from beauty, than from deterioration... for obvious reasons!

I'm here to learn, and beauty is relative. And for myself untouched factory originals are at the top of the list, with the ones posted seeming to me to have had some "tuning up" at some point to try and remove some corrosion and aging?
I also don't quite understand what the differences are supposed to be because in the image posted the two ricasso's are not quite the same - with one appearing to be wider than the other. And we know that they were not made using computers - so perhaps some clarification could be provided? Best Regards, Fred
