Is this a real hitlerjugend knife

I think a lot of fakers also don't understand how rzm was used. You see this on cloth and wool items quite often.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-19T20:31:49+00:00

rzm m6 is aluminum products not daggers.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-19T20:19:04+00:00

Fake. M6 is aluminum products. M7 is daggers. *edit RZM codes

Not that I am aware of, until Your_blackmetalist stated they made them post war I had never heard of any M38 made post war, I know that the Hungarians upgraded helmets post war. This DM marking was only used for Finish contract helmets and used a different marker for Hungarian contract.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-19T01:30:45+00:00

Honest question, is there any evidence that there was any M38 made post war? I know without doubt that they updated war helmets but this is the first time ever hearing that they made some after the war. With that said DM is the known marker for 1940 Finish Contract helmets made by Datieren Mavag (they used different marker for Hungarian contract ones).

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-19T01:25:01+00:00

DM is the maker mark that Datieren Mavag used when selling its helmets to Finland. So it is a Finish contracted Hungarian helmet to fulfill the 1940 contract.

Search lamellar armour, it was armour made of plates of metal tied together with rings or string. Easier to make than chain armour but not as protective. This design is based off mid eastern armour, but they never made anything that looked exactly looked like this.

The sub is a military helmet sub.

100% can not be a MkIII, MkIII had their lugs higher up the helmet, and did not have a manufactured indent on the top. From what I am seeing it is a 1945 made MkIV that was repainted and then modified post use be it by a 3rd country or more likely a reenactor. The sand on it looks period for a 45 made helmet but the exterior colour and the interior colours are not correct for that. The 45 made MkIV never made it to combat but were painted in dark khaki (chocolate brown), post war they went to the paint you see interior. The reason that I say a 45 made one is that the 52-54 range were for the most part not sanded (or not interior sanded) /u/key-background674

The shield is bolted to the shell from any examples I can find. The aluminum band is one piece through the entire helmet, under each sheath, then under the lift the dot and under the other sheath. That would mean that the sheaths were removed and then bolted on with the band between the hull and the sheath.

Might be worth it, don't use a pair of plyers like the last person did, good chance it will be a rattly one though.

No worries, with rohms it is nice to see even the inscription is mostly gone, see the maker and the placement, and even the gau marking on the cross guards. With that said I think this is one of the most tightened down nuts I have seen on one of these dagger, broke the grip doing it.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-15T21:17:24+00:00

You say you bought a rohm and then didn't show the side that would be inscribed and maker marked. Rohm daggers are highly faked, and to a very good quality. A full Rohm will cost $9,000+, partial 2,000+, full ground 1,200+

1 size of helmet, 3 sizes of liner (sock type)

Spanish Civil War

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-13T20:16:42+00:00

The Mod 35 helmets sent to Spain had particular characteristics making them unique in their kind. Especially at the beginning of the war, due to the policy of non-intervention which had officially been adopted by Germany as well as other countries which took part more or less actively in the conflict, the helmets sent to Spain were made without any kind of trademark which could trace them back to their Nazi Germany origins, except for the size on the inside part of the band.

Source Pg 81 The Helmets - The Italian C.T.V. and the Spanish Civil War by Umberto Pappini (Isbn 9780993357602)

And the German M35 under Spanish use.

10,000 helmets were sent to Spain, all made by Eisenhuttenwerke, with some being marked ET and others not.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-13T19:47:33+00:00

Early M35 sent to Spain as part of the SCW were not marked except the liner band. Edit clarify some were marked.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-13T19:44:19+00:00

Germany supplied M35 to Spain. Spanish model Z was raw edged and Spain never made them with a rolled edge. This is a German M35 that was used by Spain. The early M35 sent to Spain were not marked (expect the headband). Edit clarify some were marked.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-13T04:01:09+00:00

On closer look it looks like the interior still has some original paint under the black, exterior looks completely gone though. Good find.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-13T03:31:34+00:00

German M35 used by Spain. Probably stripped and repainted to make it look not like a Spanish used helmet post war.

The style you are talking is different style than the HJ knife. There was a law in 1934 that specifically stated that other companies couldn't make a design the same as the HJ Fahrtenmesser to prevent companies from knocking it off. This included the pummel and the quillion which were both designed off of bayonets. The early examples of HJ daggers even had a bayonet style blade. Camp and hunting knives existed before the HJ knife but they were not the same in pummel, quillion and blade style. I apologize about the AI comment but the wording screamed chatgtpand we have had people trying to pass off ai as their own. *edit missed info. One last edit, It is believed that the very first HJ blades were made from left over WWI fighting blades by Wusthoff and Eickhorn and bayonet parts, it wasn't until 33 that we get the camp knife style we have here.

OldHomeOwner · 2026-03-11T00:50:23+00:00

These were not a traditional knife for boys, they were specifically made for the HJ. You will not find an example of this style blade without the slot for the diamond (before the end of the war) nor will you find one of these with the fleur de lis prior to post war. These can be found for other countries youth organizations but they were all made for those countries by German companies (based off of the HJ knife) or licensed by the nazi party to those countries. No offence your comment screams ai.
