An extremely nice and complete Hitler Youth knife, with original sheath and frog. The blade is clearly marked RZM M7/5 on the ricasso. The blade has been ground, probably to remove an inscription. It is possible that it was originally Damascus, but it is hard to tell due to the grind marks. Regardless, the RZM marks are very strong and clear. Dimensions: the blade is 5.5 inches long, and the knife is 10.5 inches overall. Processing and shipping with in the continental U.S. $25.00 plus replacement cost insurance.
The blade has been ground, and has a rough finish. The frog is dry, but solid. The sheath retains most of its paint, and the hilt is excellent.
