HJ knife

[TVD]

Hello,
I have a question about a HJ knife. I have bought one with the RZM code: MZ/49 1939. It has a motto on the blade. Should I be concerned?
Regards,

Hello,
my greatest concern is the RZM code: MZ/49 1939.
Does it exist?

It could be M7/49 and that is Friedrich Herder A.S., Solingen
. Are you sure it is MZ/49?

Hello,
I'm sure about the MZ/49.
I bought the HJ knife from a very respected dealer in Belgium.
However if you look at this site: http://thirdreichmilitariaholland.nl...rie=22&type=90 item number 252, It comments that MZ/49 is a fake!

Sorry I didnt read your question enough I thought you were asking about any RZM code not that specific one apologies

Like Jason said, the M7 would define it as an edged weapons manufacturer. I've never heard of MZ as a defined RZM code.

Thanks all for the info.
The HJ knife goes back to the dealer.
Regards and again, many thanks.

Larry - Look at the site, it is odd. Would like to see whole knife, not sure if that is an error in manufacture or a fake, not enough there to tell.

TVD - You were on the mark with the "MZ" you referenced!

For those who can't read Dutch, the site I mentioned, means:
"copy,copy... this HJ knife is made by a smart producent: The 7 in the RZM code looks like a 7, but it is a "Z". The diamond is flat red, without points/dots.
Also copy: HJ knife with RZM code MZ/49 1939. This one has a original diamond, but still it is a fake"

The collecting community generally accepts that 1938 is the last year that mottos were applied to the blade.
