Hitler Youth Knife by RZM M7/13

German WWII > Edged Weapons > Hitler Youth and DJ Knives > RZM Hitler Youth Knives

Here's a nice RZM piece! The bright, thick, clean blade on this one looks good! The dark and crisp "RZM M7/13" (Arthur Schüttelhofer & Co.) maker mark is beautifully executed! The tip comes to a sharp point and the fit remains nice and tight! The blade on this one rates a solid Exc+. It shows age grey throughout along with a bit of sharpening and surface scratches. The original leather buffer pad remains intact. The steel based, black enamel painted scabbard remains in great condition! It remains completely dent free and retains 95%+ paint coverage! The scabbard leather has aged crazed and gone from a black to a brown with time. It continues to hold a well working snap. The ally based, nickel plated hilt on this one remains 75% intact. The black checkered celluloid grip plates remain in excellent condition! The HJ diamond looks great retaining 98% and shows some scratches. Overall a solid example of an RZM by Arthur Schüttelhofer & Co!
