Here we offer a fully original Hitler Youth knife, with Blut und Ehre! (Blood and Honour) blade and applied enamel Hitler Youth Swastika diamond to the handle.
This is an early version of the 'transitional' knives, a term applied to knives made c.1935 that are stamped with both the manufacturer's logo as well as the RZM number (a Nazi organization formed to standardize the manufacture of items such as the Hitler Youth knife).
