hitler youth bayonet

Hi Ralph. I agree, it does appear that way (I thought the same thing), but what about the bayonet as a whole? I don't want to focus too much on the rivets if the rest of the bayonet looks solid.

If the rivets are messed with, it is not worth whatever they are asking.

Hi guys. For grins I thought I'd post these new photos provided by the owner. They're much cleaner and clearer than the originals. I don't expect the outcome to be any different, I just thought I'd post them for the record...









Thanks!

The new photos are not any more in focus but, now I dislike the fit of the blade to guard and you can see the grinding or sanding on the handle slabs. Not for me.

The insignia is on the backside of the bayonet that was worn against the torso. Bad fake. I have never heard of a HJ fireman's bayonet and believe it to be a fantasy.

I agree with Bob...I have never seen nor heard of an official HJ Fireman's Bayonet...this piece looks put together...
cheers, Glenn

Thanks for the feedback guys. As I mentioned, I didn't expect the new photos to change the facts, just wanted to uploaded them since the owner sent them my way. Thought it would be nice (either way) to provide cleaner photos.

The added swastika engraved on the blade makes me nervous on this one

Come on guys,fireman's bayonet be wear by HJ boys, that's funny.
I have never seen HJ bayonet to be promising and I think they are all fakes.
Is anyone seen period picture with HJ bayo on uniform? I don't think so.

They did exsist ........so far I have never seen an Original yet...but they were approved by the NSDAP
