grin No, I definitely don't see what you see. When I look at post #314279 I just see gaudy and actually quite ugly knives whose existence in the period has never been established. The other type of knife that you show in post #314032 earlier in the thread actually looks nice (the one with the HJ emblem) but it suffers from the same problem. No period photos are known to me that show these engraved knives in wear by either HJ or SS. Weinand once tried to convince people that he had found the photographic evidence for the HJ but it turns out that the photo isn't even of a HJ member and it didn't show engravings. See this post by Saris in a thread where that photo was discussed:

However, as you have no interest in discussing any opposing viewpoints I will gracefully exit stage left but thanks for responding.
