It is not the size of a Collection in History that matters......Its the size of your Passion for it!!

As you know, the kids used, sharpened and abused these (what kid wouldn't and I'm sure Larry will now post some photos of these with cracked handles being thrown into trees).
So nice to find one in such nice condition.

My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them

You mean like this?
yup! Note the broken grip on the top knife

It's a nice tidy late period (1939-42) HJ knife. Is the hilt magnetic (steel) or zinc alloy? From 1939 the use of the alloy hand grip began until end of production. So that could be a guide as to where in the late period time line it probably fits.
This is the most common maker of HJ knives, as stated above, a nice late knife!

Good honest RZM/13 hj knife for your 1st knife
the hilt on this one looks like its made from steel ?, is it magnetic ?
Regards Mac 66
Sorry for the late response. Yes the hilt is magnetic.

Ok so it may have been produced a little earlier than 39-42, early 38 is my guess
i like these M7/13 hjs with steel hilt, feel much better quality & heavier than the Zinc hilt hjs.
Thanks for all the replies I have learned a lot. Also glad to see that some of you guys collect in just one area. It makes it easier to get better information. As for me, I collect all over the board and therefore have less time to study anything specific.
