UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons HJ Edged Weapons Forum List your RZMS

I spoke with dave in Raleigh Saturday. We were talking about trying to get together with some folks and come up with a rarity scale for HJs. Step one is RZMs working our way back to early makers. Please take the time to list your RZM numbers. We need to know what RZMs are out there first. Help us out. Just because someone has listed a number doesn't mean you can't list yours. If it has a date, please list that also. Lets all try and make this hobby fun again. What do you say? Russ

Better still,

Show a picture of the RZM mark.

Dave

OK! M7/85 is the Maker: Arthur Evertz
GDC#o238

blairbunker, What a coincidence! Here's mine! Could these be considered a transitional? Note the mark is on the front ricasso! Regards. teufel

Hi,Can't do pics yet but my RZM is M7/2 (Voos) and is dated 1938.Listing is good idea.See ya,Hugh.

Yes Teufel, Arthur Evertz marks all their blades on the obverse! I also have a AES bayonet that is stamped on the front!
John
GDC#o238

These are the ones I have seen or are in my collection:
1, 1+ (it is a plus sign- unknown cottage maker), 2, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 25, 27, 28, 31, 33, 34, 36, 37, 38, 42, 43, 45, 46, 49, 51, 52, 56, 60, 62, 66, 68, 72, 73, 80, 83, 85, 93, 94, 103, 109, 116, 118. Even if you don't have it but if you have seen it and know it to be authentic please list. thanks Russ

I have also seen "Arthur Evertz" spelled out along with the RZM number. I have not seen an Arthur Evertz with motto or one that is not at minimum transitional. Russ

Russ- Are you counting Transitional Maker Mark - RZM Marked daggers. Or just just RZM marked. I got a couple Trans. HJ if you want them for your list.

Either way is OK. We just want to see what numbers are out there. Russ

A Trans. M7/36 E.F. H�rster

And A Trans. M7/10 J.A. Henckels

here is my only one i hope its real?

dimond.

Looks good, from what you show.

RZM M7/66 1942 on ricasso with deeply stamped over the shoulder squirrel logo on blade

My RZM's

51(2x), 56, 65(motto), 66, 68, 80, 85

RZM M7/70, David Malsch, Presently own it

Russ,

Here comes my input on your RZM request.

First list is RZM only, no other makersmarck on the blade at all:
- 5 (with motto)
- 13 (3x, 2 zinc, 1 steel)
- 36
- 51-40
- 56-39
- 80-39 and 80-40

Second list is transitional, RZM + the makersmarck on the blade:

- 18-1939
- 30-1936
- 40
- 51-39 (+knight on reverse ricasso)
- 59
- 66-37, 66-39 and 66-42
- 83 (+ ! in triangle on ricasso)

Good luck with the work on your HJ rarety list!

Let me know if I can be of any help.

Greetings,

Herman
