Description

blade: 11cm

An original Second World War German scout knife, commonly associated with the Hitler Youth (HJ), complete with its metal scabbard.

This iconic piece features a single-edged steel blade, checkered grip plates, and the distinctive diamond-shaped emblem inset to the handle.

The knife retains its original form, with a plated hilt and guard, and is housed in a period-correct metal scabbard with leather hanger and securing strap.

These knives were issued as part of youth organisation uniforms during the Third Reich period and have since become highly collectible militaria items.

A historically significant example, displaying the characteristic design and construction associated with wartime German youth knives.

A strong addition for collectors of WW2 militaria, edged weapons, or historical artefacts.
