Title 1st model Hitler Youth dagger
Nationality German
Period c 1937
Sold

This is the model with the blood and honour ('blut und ehre') inscription. It is marked 'M7/37' for the maker, E & F Horster, which is also impressed in full on the blade, which has been carefully sharpened. This knife was carried by fully fledged members of the HJ as a mark of achievement within the unit.

The scabbard retains excellent leather work and 70% of its original paintwork. The enamel in the grip badge is perfect and the badge rattles somewhat in its recess, as should most originals.

testimonials

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
