WW2 Hitler Youth Knife

A genuine example of a Hitler Youth knife by Pumawerke. The knife remains generally untouched, having much original finish and featuring a good leather hanger, plus, working strap fastener secured to an excellent scabbard with much factory paint, and no dents. The leather washer is also present on the ricasso, hiding part of the RZM roundel, together with the maker's code reference, M7/27 above a 1938 date.

Over all, the knife shows some sign of age wear and the blade has a patina exhibiting light surface mottling. The edge has signs of former use, with some light sharpening and stropping evident. However, this has not excessively marred the finish and the knife presents very well, with the grip scale and enamel insignia remaining perfect. The blade could be lightly cleaned to improve the lustre.

A collector grade example.
