Anyone?
Re: HJ olympic dagger
In my opinion these are all post war fantasy creations.

Re: HJ olympic dagger
I kinda have my doubts friend.
I have never seen any reference about a blade like this.
I do not think The Hitler Youth participated in the Olympics as a group or as individuals.
Looks like Ade beat me to it.
Re: HJ olympic dagger
I agree, never seen one of those before

Never saw one eighter, but I am no expert!
Still I find the etching and the use of colors for the olympic rings having a certain credibility....

Re: HJ olympic dagger
It reminds me of the "REICHSPARTEITAG NÜRNBERG 1935" dagger. I think it could be authentic.... But I'm no expert...
Re: HJ olympic dagger
Hitler Youth did work as volunteers at the 1936 Olympics. It certainly is possible that this was some form of gift to those who participated. However, in 50+ years of collecting, I have never seen or heard of this piece before. In these days of so many fantasy fakes, I would need some period confirmation of the existance of such a piece to be convinced.

Re: HJ olympic dagger
There are quite a few of these about for sale, many with the 'original' paper packaging envelope. However, the majority of vendors have, shall we say, a 'reputation' amongst many serious collectors. Just Google 'Hitlerjugend Olympic Knives' and make up your own mind.
Other than that, here's a thread off WAF that also discusses them. They appear to be very contentious.
