A Transitional Model 1933 Hitlerjugend Fahrtenmesser by Carl Eikckhorn of Solingen - RZM M7/66 1940. The ricassoed blade on this one looks excellent. The stamped “Eickhorn Solingen” / “RZM M7/66” (Die - 3) maker marks and “40” date mark are all beautifully executed. The crossgrain is wonderful running the full length of the blade and is easily visible as you shine it in the light. The tip comes to a perfect point. The blade rates an Exc++/NM. It shows some age grey / spotting along with the typical surface scratches/runner marks throughout. The fit is a bit loose. The original black sealed leather buffer remains intact. The steel based black enamel painted scabbard is in excellent condition. It has all the Eickhorn specific characteristics. It remains dent free and holds 99% paint coverage. There is minor spidering. It has two runners. The black” leather hanger is in excellent condition. It has all of its rivets and the “Stocko” marked snap continues to work well. The zinc based nickel-silver plated hilt retains 95% of its plating, with wear in the typical areas. The grip plates are black checkered presstof. Both steel rivets remain tightly secured. The large opaque HJ diamond retains 99%+ of its enamel. This piece has all of the textbook c.1940 characteristics and has the correct die flaws.
