this is my only hj , not really my main focus for collecting , but always wanted a representative in my edged weapons collection

after i bought it i noticed what looks like H E H 15 crudely scratched into the scabbard looks to have been there a long time this was not mentioned when i bought it ,(pic of scabbard is upside down ) it has not come out in the pic very well but all the same its there ! , no doubt in the wrong hands this would have belonged to Heinrich "Ermintrude" Himler who claimed he was 15 to hang around with children , this could sell for 1 billion pounds , i jest !

I have read this should have motto ??

Will,

HJs of this vintage didn't have mottoes on the blade. The maker mark on the blade ricasso is cool, it has the maker's initials in a square, "AES".

Nice markings. Will you are on a real tear this year. I envey you! Ian.

Thanks for the comments guys, the only thing that ever bothered me about this knife was that motto thing i'd read somewhere1 thanks for clearing it up billy , what date would you put on this?
Regards
Will.

I also think the markings being on the obverse are pretty cool, I have been told by a couple of prospective buyers that it was fake because of this funny how they were still willing to buy it for "reference" purposes

Hello Will,

You have a very nice and original, late Arthur Evertz HJ.

This knife also exists without the "AES" logo, only displaying the typical and very small RZM mark.

Best greetings,

Herman

Thanks herman , i bought this because it felt and looked right , i knew about the emblem wiggle and it has no lip on the scabbard , i also got it for a good price , i want another on now though!
Regards
Will.

Good to hear that we have a new HJ collector, Will

Ones you started, it will be difficult to stop...

Best greetings,

Herman

Here is one with the other mark variation: RZM M7/85 only, no "AES"

Best greetings,

Herman

Very Nice , nice mark , would this be earlier than mine ?
Regards
Will

Hello Will,

Your knife was probably made a bid earlier than mine.

But both knifes show very light plating over the alloy hilt, so I would presume that they are wartime made.

Best greetings,

Herman

Thanks Herman
