Hi Nordwind...
The knife looks good, and also the scabbard
I cant see if it has the motto, but like it says there the year is 1936, then it should had it, because the motto was removed from 1938
The sheat is in poor condition...so IMO,...could worth around 90 dollars
Dont take my reply as the holy true, wait for others that have more experience than me
And what im not certain about is on the grip....looks like a variation (?)
Looks like this variation:

Well, hope others agree with my opinion...cheers

looks like the scabbard is anodized. which makes it a little bit rarer.

I can't tell enough from the one photo. The knife looks ok, but some close ups would be nice.

It may be the lighting or just the way the scabbard has aged, but I see a lip on the throat area and that is not good. Maybe its just my eyes.

My advice is, unless you can get it for a real good deal, pass and buy a knife in better shape.

Just my ramblings,

Hi Jason
I think it is your eyes
But as Jason says unless you can get it for a real good deal, pass and buy a knife in better shape and also better pictures would be great!
Still looks good to me!

HMMMMM?!!!!
I dont understand... 140 € = 176 ? what is 176?
He is asking 442 US dollars for that HJ? wow, man, for that price you can get a stone mint one !

[Lassi]

Hi the 140€ is converted to US$ 176,44 $

To Me it seems a little high priced I would say a price around 100 - 120 €
Would be the price due to the condition.

OMG, price is now 170 € There is bidding race between two buyers.

[JasonS]

ok, better pictures. It was my eyes . I still wouldn't buy it. It is bid up to high for the condition it is in.

The crazy thing to me is that here I sit saying it is to expensive for the condition, but stuff that we here in the forum say is no good-or to much for the condition is getting alot of money on these online auctions.

[Santi]

too expensive !
