Price: Sold
Description: Mid Period, (Circa 1934-1939), HJ knife with motto, has a drop forged steel, single edged, non-fullered blade. Blade retains its factory shape being unsharpened. Maker marked ‘RZM M7/38’ (Paul Seilheimer, Solingen) on the left ricasso of the blade. The leather buffer remains there as well. The cross guard and a stylized eagle head pommel or all bright nickel plated. The knife has molded, black, checkered bakelite grips with dual headed, nickel rivets. The obverse grip has an embedded enameled HJ diamond. The diamond has the correct translucent red enamel with a pebbled field visible underneath and shows a desirable slight “wiggle”. The black lacquered steel scabbard is near-mint; earlier brown leather straps are complete with working black-enamel snap. An exceptional one and hard to upgrade.!
