Wow..I had one of those knives in the 1970s..pictured with the half red and white diamond above...which I still have to this day. Just out of curiosity..who made the knife that I speak of..was it Anton Wingen? Regards Larry

Yes Larry, Yours is a genuine Anton Wingen Jr. "Othello" brand. It will not say that on your particular post-war HJ style knife (F.E.S.) marked only.
This information was obtained from a private seller in Solingen who had an ad in the German equivalent of EBay which I needed to translate to English.
These only sell for about $30 but Anton Wingen Jr. is permanently closed and his factory vandalized then demolished so there is only "old stock" available currently.
If understood in the proper perspective and not with disgust the value will certainly increase over many years.

All these years and now finding out. I would of taken better care of it if I knew this information before hand. I will dig mine out and shoot some pics and post them. Thanks for the identity of the red white diamond. Cool militaria regards Larry

I would love to see a separate post in the SA section of the transitional Jacobs dagger if you have more photos. I also noticed what looks to be a plain red diamond in the HJ knife..also worthy in the HJ forum for discussion. I see what you mean in comparison. Regards Larry

Thanks Larry for your interest in post-war and transitional marked German "special" knives and daggers of historical 3rd. Reich designers. HJ style and also SA type seem melded over in modern times between today's "greens" and their Nazi birth.
German scouting still uses HJ type knives and blazes the trail believing in Teutonic Nationalism and freedom from stifling adult authority. Still felt as a common movement but has several branches, some with shared tenants and similarities with Hitler Youth right wing groups (neo-Nazi's).

Well Done!! on posting the modern day Gebr Becker Post HJ knife. The BDM were not permitted to wear any type of edged sidearms..which were reserved for the boys. The smaller pic is difficult to see if there is any Knife being worn..so if you can enlarge the photo...or maybe I cant see it...but for the others as well. Regards Larry

"I am relieved to know that."
Here is a photo of the Brannik "Guardians" when they were Nazi allies in 1945. Look the HJ knives and the belt buckles these youngsters are wearing with pride.
(see photo below)
