This is a nice WWII German Hitler Youth Knife marked RZM M7/13, (Arthur Schüttelhofer & Co., Solingen-Wald) TM. Nickel-plated hilt fittings show minor to moderate surface wear with one ding to the point of the pommel, but no lifting of the plating to pommel, spine or crossguard/upturned quillon. Black bakelite grip plates are nice with crack across the front grip right through where the diamond sits and one on the back starting at the blade edge going up through the first rivet otherwise no other chips and with undamaged HJ emblem properly inset. Polished blade grades EX showing runner marks with gray speckling on obverse/reverse and minor scraping to flats of blade, but no nicks to cutting edge. Blade is complete with black leather blade buffer pad. Dent-free steel scabbard retains approximately 80% of the original black enamel showing wear primarily to tip, left edge and upper obverse shell. Scabbard is complete with EX dark brown/ black leather hanger/belt loop complete with grip strap. It is missing the top rivet to the scabbard but the lower one is strong.  Leather in excellent shape.
