My first HJ !

[Erik Snider]

Here's my first HJ, I found it on ebay for 150 USD. Gräwiso maker, Im guessing its 1937 or earlier. Ive always wanted one of these and finnaly found a decent one. Blade looks a lot better in person as the scanner picks up ever tiny imperfection. Does anyone know what the stamp on the scabbard is? Is that a maker mark? Thanks All

Not a commonly encountered maker, very nice find.

Great Knife. What does the stamping on the leather say in the inset? I can't make it out.


"L (something) S" ??

The whole scabbard and leather is great!

May I ask what these daggers go for. Also what does the writting down the front of the blade say, is it the same as the SS daggers?.

Hi Trent, the motto on the blade is that of the Hitler Youth "Blood and Honour" or "Blut und Ehre" in German. Later production knives did not have the motto.


I have no idea on prices nowadays, but they certainly go for several hundred dollars. I paid £16 for mine many, many years ago!

Cheers, Ade.
