Need opinions on HJ-knife

[Peppe864]

I am no edged weapons expert, I am selling a HJ knife on the e-stand and I got the question if it was original or not.


IMO it is original, you can find it here:

Hj

It's a good one > looks all Original, & Authentic: made in 1939; with full original Shape to blade, with only slight sharpening. Easily worth Your price.

The hj knife & scabbard by Eickhorn on the e-stand is genuine enough imo its a nice peice in good condition........Cheers Scott.

thanks for the help guys!

I knew that this one was good, although I am no expert and a potential buyer wanted reassurance......

Peppe,

Your HJ knife is a perfectly original example from what I can see in the photographs.

The HJ knife that is for sale just above your ad is a reworked mish-mash of parts however.

This early Wingen KS98 style knife has a later trench knife scabbard and the original grips have obviously been replaced with HJ plastic grips.
