Nice pick up John...great HJ Knife.
Sorry I dont have any knowledge about the number on the scabbard and thoughts from the other collectors may shed some light on that.
The Shoelace may or may not of been period done but I like the idea of it being a retainer replacement.
Regards Larry

I can't say I've seen another with the numbers scratched into the scabbard. But I would think it is more likely a post war addition. Those scratched numbers might attract the wrath of an HJ leader. What do they mean? Perhaps a son of a veteran added his phone number before taking the knife to school camp?

Thank you Anderson. I was fully suspecting a post war creation since I did not find another example like it but I suppose most would not show it either. Kind of embarrassing but now I know a little more. Much appreciated.

Nice enough hj by Wingen, the numbers scratched into the scabbard look as if they have been there a long time & may be the hj members ID number, do not discount them as post added until proven otherwise imo.
