WW2 German HJ Knife Stag Grip WKC
Offered here is a very interesting Hitler Youth knife produced by the WKC firm in Solingen. This knife features a very nice early blade, with the hard to find Hitler Youth Motto etching. At some point in its life, a returning GI, or maybe the HJ boy himself, decided to remove the grip plates and replace them with artificial stag. The paint looks to have been removed, and period paint reapplied. What I cant stress enough, is how all of the mortifications made to this dagger were done in the period. I did a side-by-side comparison of the artificial stag on the knife, and a set from an authentic bayonet… it was an identical match. The paint was also not done recently, and it was done quite well. These mortifications in my opinion were absolutely done in the period, and not by some guy in his garage 20 years ago. Even with the mortifications made, the knife is in very nice shape, and displays handsomely!
