HJ-283 Early Puma HJ Knife
This blade retains original shape with no signs of sharpening, but evidence of light use, not abuse and cleaning. The motto is somewhat lightened. The manufacturer and their logo are deeply stamped to the reverse. Buffer was lost when I got it some I replaced it, you would not know had I not told you. Blade is Exc+. Fittings are plated steel with 99% of the original plating intact. There is some evidence of hits and marks from wear. The grip plates are the early stretch type. Early nickel rivets this one. The wiggly diamond is perfect. Painted scabbard has lots of wear and again small marks and hits, about 25% of original paint remains. The black leather shows age and wear but is still supple. Exc+

HJ-287 Transitional WKC HJ Knife
It's been a while since I've had a transitional WKC, they made a nice
product. This blade
is bright and clean with a good deep black maker mark. There's no evidence of
sharpening and the tip has been repaointed. You would never know but I do
cause I'm anal about this stuff. Just the lightest of age grey but look
there's still crossgrain!! Factory buffer is intact. Blade is Exc+. Fittings are
plated zincl with 99% of the original plating intact. There is some
evidence of hits and marks from wear. The grip plates are perfect as
is the diamond. Repainted scabbard has wear with lots of small scratches,
from the wear I would say this is a period repaint. The
black leather is in good strong shape. This is a very decent HJ. Exc+

HJ-285 Transitional Pack HJ Knife
It's been a while since I've been able to pick up a nice transitional like
this. This blade
is nice and clean with a good dark motto, there's a couple marks towards
the tip on the cutting edge but they are smooth and there's no evidence of
sharpening. Just the lightest of age grey. The manufacturer
and their logo are deeply stamped to the
reverse. Take a second and go back and look at the RZM designation,
see how it's etched, and not stamped? Due to the RZM rules coming into place in 1936, Pack
was required to etch this on existing stock blades to be in compliance
when selling these. Very interesting. Factory buffer is intact. Blade is Exc++. Fittings are
plated steel with 99.9% of the original plating intact. There is some
evidence of hits and marks from wear to include some taps to the reverse of
the pommel. The grip plates are perfect as
is the wiggly diamond. Painted scabbard has
minimal wear with 99% of the paint intact. The
brown leather is in good strong shape. This is a super knife that
will not last. Exc++

HJ-238 Interesting Personalized RZM 7/51 Transitional Anton Wingen HJ Knife
It's really rare to find personalized HJ's. Very likely a gift from the family upon the recipient's completion of the HJ requirements to carry one's own knife. This one is well work but still has some interesting features. The blade shows wear, spotting and has been slightly shortened. Ok, I say that and the motto is still nice and clear. The reverse is maker marked RZM 7/51 with the year of manufacture. Below this on the riccasso is the owners name "W. Schumann" deeply engraved. I thought that this might be a distributor but through going through all my references that it not a distributor so therefore is the owners name. Blade is a Exc example. Original black buffer is intact. Fittings are plated steel with 97% of the original plating intact, just some loss from normal wear exactly where I like to see it- on the pommel area where the retaining strap holds the knife in its scabbard. Grip plates are secured with nickel rivets and there is a wee chip to the reverse next to the finger guard. The diamond is near perfect with a sliver of enamel loss you will need a lop to find. Brown leather scabbard leather shows wear but is all intact and supple. The snap cap is well marked. The scabbard body shows heavy paint wear and I'm 75% sure this is a repaint. If it is it's definitely period. An interesting example! Exc
