Re: Hitler Jugend Knife: Fake or Original? A Couple Critical Points
hi , agreed it has issues , scabbard lip would put me off. some better pics and shots of trademark/ rzm would help .close up of the scabbard lip ,hard to make out if it flares or if the scabbard is scratched in that area.have noticed myself over the years any i have seen and my own example have the trademark / rzm mark have been stamped on the reverse,.cheers paul

I personally would stay away, that scabbard lip is a big worry

Run away from this one. Bad news.
The scabbard issues have already been mentioned.
I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the grip diamond yet. The fit is not to my liking. It's wrong.
If it's $10 buy it for kicks. If it's retail...then laugh at it 'cause the seller is gonna' end up unhappy when he's unable to move it.

Re: Hitler Jugend Knife: Fake or Original? A Couple Critical Points
There is no rivet on the scabbard either !
This would be very convincing to someone who doesn't know,
and my guess is that it will eventually be sold ..........!

Re: Hitler Jugend Knife: Fake or Original? A Couple Critical Points
hi, main lesson i have learned over the years is believe nothing to be original until you can prove to yourself it is. i mean its got to the stage that even the most common day badges are faked , this hobby is swamped with fakes and the best defence is research .any money spent on books ect is an astute investment something that tends to be forgotten in the Internet age! cheers paul
