Do you have a "1940", "1941" or "1942" dated HJ knife?

Or one that just shows that it is of very late production due to the materials used?

Show them now please!

I'll start: here is a classic Eickhorn 1940:

Here's a 1942 Eickhorn. -serge-

I have the same as Serge

Heres an interesting one guys its stamped M7/12 1940 on the ricasso & has the Ed Wusthof trademark stamped on the blade but M7/12 isnt the RZM number for Wusthof its for maker Carl Robert Kaldenbach or its duplicate RZM# Waffenfabrik Max Weyersberg, So maybe old Wusthof ran out of blades & borrowed some from either company? .........Regards Scott.

Wusthof trademark on blade.

daimond insignia.

knife & scabbard.

I had this HJ Knife and when I found it the blade had been filed and was a mess, the plating on the pommels etc was about 50% but the diamond was perfect -- and the grips were cracked. Now I know that restoration can kill the value of the weapon; however a friend who owns an auto body shop asked if he could make it right for me ? I said Jack I have nothing to loose so I bought a set of grips from JRB&M and sent it to Jack. Well he gave it the restoration of a lifetime - he even removed the dent in the snap and re finished it. Opinions & Comments Welcomed. Oh I doubt that the brand new 1941's ever looked this fine Thanks mattcald@bellsouth.net

Hi Herman
here is very late Anton Wingen Jr 1942

Hello Stingray,

Anton Wingen Jr made lots of HJ's, but I have only seen a few "1942" marked knifes by this maker. Yours seems to be in great condition, thanks for showing it!
