UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons HJ Edged Weapons Forum Anton Wingen Jr: the inventor of the HJ-knife?

Thank you fellow collectors, for the kind words!

Allow me to show some other interesting features about Anton Wingen Jr made HJ-knifes:

- This maker was (one of) the first to use only the RZM-code on mottoed knifes, starting as early as 1936!

- Starting 1936, the thin "no- ricasso" blades (4rd and 5th from the right) were still used, later in that same year, Wingen started to use the more robust blades with ricasso (3rd from the right).

- But in 1938, the knight logo was re-introduced in combination with the RZM code (1st from the right). This proofs that the so called "transitional period" actually never existed!

Best regards,

Herman
