Anton Wingen JR (RZM M7/51) is another very common HJ knife maker. I wonder how many variants exist?
If you own one, tell us or show which one!
The knife I show has the rzm mark and year (1939)on the obverse side and the Wingen knight on the reverse, a common variant.
Anton Wingen Jr also used very typical (aluminium) rivets on his later knifes from which you can recognize the maker without getting the knife out of its scabbard.
Best greetings,

By 1940 the Wingen "obverse knight" seems to have dissapeared... But the typical Wingen rivets are still in use.

Nice looking HJ's Herman! And the style of the grip plates has changed as well.
Regards

Thanks, Russell. You have noticed correctly that on the 1939 knife the early grip plates were still used!
Here is another variation: RZM only with motto dated 1936, also seen quite often.
Who else has a Wingen HJ?

Here is an early one by Wingen.
Notice the unique, strait blade shape.
Anyone can show another variant?

Yes, unusual shaped blade - maybe before they were more 'standardised'. Have you seen any Wingen's with the early elongated diamond plates, as often seen on the early Eickhorn's for example?

Hi Russell,
Do not know what you exactly mean with "elongated diamond plates". Do you have a picture?
Here is another early one by this maker with different mark.
Best greetings,
Herman

Hello Russell,
Ok, I got you. I do not think that Wingen ever used this type of checkered grip plates even on its very earliest knifes. In my experience Wingen used his own, typical, almost square checkered bakelite, that was very unstable in the beginning by the way, causing bad fitting 70 years later...
Best greetings,
Herman

An other early one, almost same as the previous one but with the "ges. geschutzt" mark added.
Best greetings,
Herman

Here is a Wingen with another version of the "ricasso knight", an 1938 knife. Probably the last Wingen knife having the motto.
