Re: german fighting knife
Hi Chuck it looks to be well built knife through out ,, my only concern is the English word " Germany " on the ricasso. Unless the blades of theses knives were contracted or out sourced to another country to make them,, I would be led to think that this was a post war blade only,, or just after the end of the war. I have seen many HJ knives with Germany stamped on the ricasso,, and are still being made today in Japan and China. I take it that these photos belong to the seller as they were taken in 2008. Im sure others who collect this type can shed some light. best regards Larry

Re: german fighting knife
whoa!!!!!!! did not even think of it. i have seen other youth knives and such marked that way. i hope to learn more about what you have mentioned, the word germany on the ricasso.... i am sure you are right. i would now wonder when it was made and such. would this mean it was imported or?

Re: german fighting knife
I always understood / thought that a 'Germany' stamp indicated pre-war and 'WGermany' was post?

Re: german fighting knife
Quite e few period items was stamped "Germany" or "Made in Germany". There is also the possibility that it was stamped Germany post war for US import. I think Big Ned or Bob Coleman explained this once. All items imported had to be US stamped.

Re: german fighting knife
Don´t worry about the "Germany".
This knife went to the States as "war booty".
BTW, a pretty nice "Hammesfahr", thx. for showing !
