Photos of my transitional HJ by Ernst Pack & Sohne
As a follow-up to my original post requesting opinions, here are some photos of that HJ knife I just picked up. So odd to see it an antique store amongst vintage cameos, costume jewelry, and perfume bottles. Owner says they do occasional get German WWII items so I will be checking back often.

Beautiful HJ Messer. Like a well-endowed woman, it has all the desireables: motto, date, makers mark and RZM
Yes, I have found HJ knives and even Daggers at coin stores, antique shops, etc.
Always check in to look. Lucky find!
nice one. but prefer well endowed women. lol

78th,
Looks even better now than the 1st pix you showed
I think i,m seeing some blueing on the rear of the scabbard ?
Blade looks in good condition, does it still have crossgrain ?

Thanks Mac 66! The scabbard might have some bluing. Shame it's not in better shape. Oh well. Yes, the cross grain is still evident but it's hard to capture by photos.

Amazing to see such a nice deep etch...not all that common with these type of knifes. You done very well with a great transitional piece and likewise the price. Regards Larry

Very nice Pack transitional
Whenever I see stuff at Antique Malls, it's always
way overpriced or incorrectly ID'd - example:
WWII Gold Mothers Cross "for killed sons
and husbands" - $395. Lol.........

the most reputable wrongly ID`ed tag to put on something or someone is... "Nazi German"...makes my skin crawl

The double makers logo combined with the full Motto give these blades that little extra!
Youve done well buying this transitional!
