Title HJ knife, 2nd pattern
Nationality German
Period c 1939-45
Sold

This is the last model of the HJ Fahrtenmesser. These knives were were used by fully qualified members of the Hitler Youth. This model has a plain blade without the usual 'blood and honour' inscription. It is maker marked in code, along with the RZM mark.

The blade has had some wear and tear over the years, but all the marks are nice and sharp and the essential profile is intact. The scabbard has lost all its paintwork and the leatherwork has been restored at some point, hence the price. The plastic grips are intact, as is the enamel diamond in the centre. These daggers are now increasingly hard to find, even if in slightly scruffy condition like this one.

testimonials

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.

My Arisaka arrived at 9.00am. Very prompt delivery and excellent packaging! The blade is superb.. and just what I was after, its in very fine condition and just as you described.. I've referenced it in my copy of Raymond La Bar's book "Bayonets of Japan".

Many thanks, Chris, once again its been a pleasure doing business!
