A Hitler Youth knife complete with metal scabbard and leather hanger. The handle features characteristic diamond-pattern checkering and is adorned with an enameled HJ emblem in red, white, and black tones depicting a swastika. The blade is etched with the motto “Blut und Ehre!” (“Blood and Honor!”). On the reverse side of the blade, there is a manufacturer’s mark from Tiger Solingen featuring a tiger image and the inscription “Gesetzl. Geschützt” (legally protected). This specimen belongs to an early production type, manufactured prior to the introduction of the RZM licensing system.
