Hello,
A friend came this morning home with this HJ knife. I'd never see one before. It seems to be original & not common. Can I have opinion? Price?

Thanks.
JC

Hello JC,

I have never seen this etched E&F Hörster makersmark on 3R HJ blades. The stamped name was the one used, even on the early ones.

Another unusual caracteristic of this mottoed knife is the zinc hilt with pour plating.

Best greetings,

Herman


You never have enough HJ-knifes!
