Original Early 1933-1936 Hitler Youth Knife by Rare Maker GRAWISO with faint Blut und Ehre! Motto

Here on offer is an early original Hitler Youth Knife by GRAWISO, with the a very faint full blade motto “Blut und Ehre!”.

The nickel-silver hilt fittings are in excellent condition but do show some light age tarnishing.

The Bakelite grip plates are in perfect condition and are still held in place by the two original dome topped nickel rivets.

The HJ diamond emblem retains all its enamel and still fits tightly into the grip.

The blade is in good unsharpened condition but has a slight curvature along its back edge, that I am sure will straighten out if required.

It is the thin blade version with NO stepped ricasso and it has the Hitler Youth motto, Blut und Ehre!” (Blood and Honour) etched on the front side, which is now very faint and almost impossible to photograph!

The blade has patches of age tarnishing to both sides of the blade, some of which may well polish out.

On the reverse it has a crisp maker’s mark, being the the name:

GRAWISO
SOLINGEN

and the words:

GES. GESCHUTZT (Copyrighted)

The original leather buffer pad is still in place.

The un-dented steel scabbard has been professionally repainted in a period satin black and it does look impressive.

The original leather belt loop hanger and fastening strap and stud (made by Silesia) are still in place and in excellent condition. There is just some wear and thinning to the long leather strap where the crossguard has rubbed against it just above the top of the scabbard.

The blade measures 5.3” (13.5cm) long and the knife is 9.5” (24.2cm) in total length.

It weighs 290g.
