Hitler-Jugend Leader Dagger 'RZM M7/36'

Description

Hitler-Jugend Leader Dagger (HJ Dolch für Führer). The Hitler Youth leader dagger was introduced in 1937. The blade is showing the motto "Blut und Ehre" (Blood & Honor) and the maker mark 'RZM M7/36' indicating production by the company of 'E. & F. Hörster' from Solingen. The blade shows only typical light surface scratches throughout, and runner marks. The grip is covered in a twisted wire wrap and the pommel shows the correct HJ diamond on top. The dagger comes with its original leather covered scabbard, the leather is showing some damage, see photos. The dagger is showing a nice darkened age patina. The dagger is complete with matching and rarely found leather hangers, the hangers are matching in condition, see photos. The dagger and hangers are showing clear traces of age and showing damages to the leather and some rust/oxidition to the metal parts, I left the set in 'as found' condition how it came from a house-cleaning in Germany, so the dagger is in totally untouched condition. Not mint, but original and one of the rarest daggers to be found!
