UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons HJ Edged Weapons Forum Two periods

Hello everyone.
Since it has been a while since anyone has posted any HJs, I will post two of mine, just as a comparison of two production periods.
The one is an early Gebr. Grafrath nickel-finish non-ricasso example.
The other is a non-nickel plated RZM example (sorry, I don't have the RZM maker number handy).
Of interest are the two different size HJ insignia, and the obvious change in luster due to the later period plating.
Also, when examining one to buy, it's always good to see discoloration where the scabbard securing strap has been around the grip.
