Advice on HJ knife real?
Can across this HJ knife up for sale for fairly cheap. Would like to see what you all say on here about it. I don’t know too much about these.
Hello Sherm..this HJ knife is correct for being a late production knife.
The RZM number ,, logo and the and appears to be iron based is correct as well.
There should be 1 cloth runner inside the scabbard.
The HJ Collectors will be along shortly to confirm the details I stated.
Regards Larry

Thanks for the info. I’ll see what it’s going for and possibly pick it up. Looks in decent shape.
A little rough but authentic late period HJ, rather interestingly toward the end of production ( ending 1942) some manufacturers brought back their maker marks in addition to the RZM marks on the knives. Even the diamond is a late type so probably original to the knife (unless you can see some glue).
Any idea on what it might be worth?
What is the forsale pricetag that you stated in your first post ?by Sherm45
Condition desirability and rarity is valued differently on ever example.
To get an idea price tag it would be best to compare with some dealer pricing ...and take off 20% of their markup.
We are not a valuation service and it would be best to compare with dealers mentioned above.

Larry i agree its a nice period knife but i disagree on the details.
I know the early stamped trade mark sets you off, but Wüsthof used his transistional Logo till the end of their production.
Here you see their 1940 production, also in alloy and with full logo as well, just like their early thinblade.
imo its an zink allow based hilt, it would also make no sense being a 1941 marked knife and then not having a zink alloy hilt.
Looking at the pity without any rust it surely looks like ZinK
Im convinced a that late knife will surely have 2 runners in the scabbard, as the latest batch with the single runner has been produced around 1936
