Transitional E. Knecht & Co. HJ Dagger 1939

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

Here's a decent example. The full length blade shows spotting, scuffs, sharpening and stains. The reverse is maker marked as well as having the riccasso stamped with the RZM M7/11 designation and year of manufacture, "1939". Blade is a Exc example. Original brown buffer is intact. Fittings are plated zinc with 70% of the original plating intact, just some loss from normal wear and pitting to the obverse fingerguard. Grip plates are secured with steel rivets and are chip and crack free. The large diamond is perfect. Scabbard leather shows wear and is all intact and supple. The scabbard body has wear and age crazing. The snap functions fine.
