Hitler Youth knife with motto by LUX. This Hitler Youth knife
with the motto, 'Blut und Ehre" Blood and Honor" is in
excellent condition. Having the motto indicates it was
made no later than 1938. Blades manufactured after 1938
did not carry the motto. This knife has only very minor
loss of silver finish on its plated surfaces. The blade
is in overall all excellent condition. The scabbard
retains better than 95% of its original black paint. The
leather strap is supple and also in excellent condition. The
black checkerboard bakelite grip plates are without chips
or cracks. The HJ diamond is also complete and in superb
condition. HJ knives in this condition are becoming
rare. This one is a beauty! $1250. More Pictures |

Hitler Youth knife with owner's original monogram. This Hitler
Jugend knife is without a motto indicating it was made after
1938. It is one of the finest examples I have seen of HJ
knives made without a motto. This knife features the
initials of the original youth professionally engraved
on the blade. The addition of the initials, "MS" or "SM" might
indicate the knife was given as a present by his proud
parents. The blade is bright and shows only minor in-and-out wear
and has not been sharpened as often seen on these knives. The
RZM maker's code is stamped 7/27 (Lauterjung & Sohn, PUMAWERK, Solingen). The
checkerboard grip plates are in near mint condition. The
scabbard has almost 100% of its original black paint
finish. The diamond is perfect! The pebbled leather
strap is likewise in near mint condition. Hard to upgrade
this one. $999. More Pictures |

dagger designed during the Third Reich. This rare dagger features mother-of-pearl grip
plates. The pommel features a stylized eagle's head. There is some wear to the silver
finish but no "bubbling" or "lifting" that is common with these daggers. There is wear
in silver finish on the ferrule as well. The lower crossguard eagle is deeply cast and
has excellent finish . All internal parts are numbered "44". The scabbard has an even
patina with no dents. The blade has excellent crossgraining and has several areas of
minor smudges. The leather washer is intact. No perfect but still a very nice
example. $8,975. More Pictures |

pommel cap and TENO eagle on the lower crossguard. The orange grip is in excellent
condition. There are a couple of minor nicks to the pommel cap where the silver plating

lower crossguard. The scabbard has been polished so it is missing the burnished
background but it still looks great having no dings. The blade is stamped "1609" under
the crossguard eagle. The condition of the blade rates near mint with full
crossgraining and no smudging or pitting. Rare - $7,995. More Pictures |

Hitler Youth knife with motto dated 1937 by J.A. Henckels and RZM marked. These HJ knives

RAD Leader's hewer. This an excellent example showing a high amount of original
lacquer. The stylized pommel eagle has no lifting to the head and has excellent
detail. The white age patinaed grip plate on the obverse side shows a "Y" shaped
hairline crack which is common to these beautiful daggers. The lower crossguard
displays the RAD emblem with good detail. Blade shows llight graying in areas but
this does not detract from the overall appearance. The RAD motto, "Arbeit adelt" is
deeply etched with excellent background burnishing. The scabbard displays much of
the original factory lacquer which is not common and good to see. However, there
are areas where the silver finish has worn off towards the tip of the obverse
side. Given the condition of the rest of the hewer and the age yellowing caused
by the lacquer this is barely noticeable. $2495. More Pictures |

RAD subordinate hewer with Full stag grips by Carl Eickhorn. RAD's are becoming harder
to find at shows as they disappear into collections. This hewer is made more rare by
having the "full-stag" grips. Typically, we see the stylized eagle' head in partial
metal. The earlier ones came with "full-stag". This dagger also has a stamped number
107 preceded by a worn "Fu" for Fuehrer or leader. Not an officer hewer but
probably an NCO carried this piece. The obverse of the scabbard shows good but
worn silver plating to the fittings. The reverse shows that the silver plating
on the upper scabbard fitting is pretty worn probably due to carrying. The black
painted scabbard has lost much of its original paint. The blade has grayed
significantly, having lost much of its original finish. There is no rust or
pitting. The small Eickhorn squirrel further indicates early manufacture. The
motto "Atbeit adelt" (work ennobles), is deeply etched but has lost its
burnish. This is a rare piece even with consideration given to its worn
appearance. $1675. More Pictures |
