Hitler-Jugend Knife (HJ Fahrtenmesser). The 'HJ Fahrtenmesser' (Hike/Camp knife) was introduced in early 1933. The zinc type knife has black molded diamond grooved bakelite grips, the obverse grip has an imbedded enameled HJ diamond. The knife comes with its original magnetic sheet metal scabbard, the scabberd still retains most of its original black paint and shows normal traces of usage. The leather belt loop is present, the rivett of the small leather retaining strap is damaged. The blade is in good used condition with normal traces of usage, see photos. The blade is 'RZM M7/80' marked indicating production by the company of 'Gustav C. Spitzer' from Solingen and dated 1940. Overall a nice original HJ dagger in good used condition!
