HJ dagger with motto. Real or fake

**Centor** · 06-25-2011, 10:07 PM

Hi

I am about to buy a HJ dagger with motto.
This is my first hj with motto and i am no expert, so i hope some of you could help.
I have a really good feeling about this.

There is some paint on the handle. Is there any way this can be removed without damaging the dagger?

Thank in advance.

A very nice early production Christianswerk HJ. No problems here! All correct. As far as the paint goes, I can't see much in the pictures but if it is on the grip scales you might try using a wood tooth pick to scratch it out. Kevin.

I am not sure its paint could be from brass or copper?

Nice Early Genuine hj knife with good clear motto

The green stuff should clean off no problem but best to check it out when you have it in hand to see exactly what this green stuff is ?

Now i have it in my hands. The green stuff is very hard to see, and the photo of it shows the worst side of it, so I wont do anything about it.
The HJ is very nice and I am happy to the owner of a HJ dagger witk motto.

Thanks a lot for helping me.

Hi Operaman

It is bought in Denmark where the price is a little lower than in USA.
The price was 1800 dkr. and it is about 360 usd.

Hope it answers your question.

I have transleted "ball park a price" as you wanted to know how much I have paid for it.
Is it correct?
