Hi Peter,

I'm a bit confused! You stated that this piece was "Marked "M7/10, 1938" for "J. A. Henckels, Zwillingswerk, Solingen", yet that RZM license inscription does not appear to be present on this piece...?? This piece appears to be an HJ Field Knife dating from 1936 or earlier, since in 1936 the manufacturers began to use both the maker's name or logo and the RZM license number together, and from 1936 onward the Schirach blade motto of "Blut und Ehre" was no longer present. (RZM code M7/10 was indeed the license number for the Henckels firm.) It seems like you're showing photos of one HJ Field Knife and describing another in your text!

H J Knife

This knife looks correct, the RZM M7/10 is very feint but there.
These double marked knives are nice.

Thanks, guys! Yes, indeed, the markings are hard to see on my scanner-made pictures, but they are there!

Kind regards, Peter

I withdraw my earlier comment...my old eyes have worked against me here!

Somebody did a hell of a job to scratch the blade
