Hitler Jügend dagger M6/M7 1937
Hitler Jügend dagger M6/M7 1937
Over the years (this morning yet again) I've came accross a certain reproduction of the Hitler Jügend dagger. I want to give you a few pointers so that you won't get fooled by this reproduction.
Let me start with the dagger itself. The maker logo 'RZM' (red) is poorly etched. It's also on the wrong side of the blade. All the daggers I've seen so far had a M6 1937 marking on them, wich is offcourse incorrect (it should be M7). The one I saw this morning had an M7 1937 marking. Most likely this is an improved version of this reproduction.
The scabbard is also incorrect. You can clearly see a rim on it (yellow). This should not be there. Also the missing button (green arrow), points out that this is a modern reproduction.

Thank you for showing this example. I did have the chance to buy one just like it this past sunday and thanks to your posting I did run the the other way. It was marked with the M6 and the scabbard had the same fold over opening. Also I might add it was rather an attractive price the gentleman was asking $100.00 for it and from talking to him I do beleive hs did not know that it was a fake.

Hi Pierre
Thx for sharing these, I see that they have updated the makers mark. It's still dumb to put it there in the first place though...
