Germany, DJ. A Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ) Member’s Knife
(Deutsches Jungvolk Messer). A very well-preserved Deutsches Jungvolk (DJ) member’s knife, measuring 210 mm in length when inserted into the scabbard. The knife features a 118 mm-long magnetic metal blade with a sharpened tip and edge. The blade sits flush with the nickel-plated upper crossguard, which has a hooked quillon and forms one piece with the handle and lower crossguard. The handle grip consists of two piece of pebbled black bakelite held together by dual rivets. It is accompanied by its period original scabbard, constructed of black-painted magnetic metal. Its throat is held together by a single rivet and retains a functional spring catch, securely holding the dagger in place during storage. Two magnetic metal rivets attach a blackened leather belt loop to the scabbard. Scratching and running marks are visible on the blade, and age-appropriate fatigue is evident to the leather belt loop. It is in an overall better than very fine condition.
