HJ Knife Opinions Please

[Chris Lee]

Gentlemen,
This is the other item I just picked up. Not being a dagger or knife person all I know is that its a HJ knife. Is this original? I`ve never seen them without the motto engraved or stamped RZM so high on the blade. Is this late war and what value might this hold? Thanks

I have no idea concerning the strange placing of the mm. But that knife looks just fine to me.

Mottos on HJ blades were only in effect from 1933-35. Looks like the blade may have been buffed?

Very nice looking HJ by the maker Arthur Schüttelhofer & Co., Solingen-Wald.
There appears to be nice crossgraining left on the blade not buffing.
The motto Blut Und Ehre was present on HJ's until August 1938.
The RZM mark is also in the right place , I have sold ones like this before.
Nice looking piece worth in the UK about £160.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
Nice dagger!
To me it looks like the fastening strap is a replacement, the button looks a bit new and it seems to be fastened using two staples instead of one nail.

But I´m no expert at all just my observation.
