Hello to all, pics of HJ knife, any opinions thankful, had for awhile, some damage to center of diamond which seems to deform right leg of swastika to look a little bigger or maybe somebody tried to touch up? But the knife & diamond measures exactly to the 1933 RZM specs.

Very nice, Jim,

And it has the SMF logo on the scabbard ! That is very hard to find.

Yes, that is an original early HJ-knife by a tough to find maker, especially with the matching scabbard marking!

The diamond got a hit, but it is not that bad: only few enamel got lost.

Best regards,

Herman


You never have enough HJ-knifes!

The only other one I've seen was found by Lakeside Trader.
