ARTIFACT:
This is an early transitional Hitler youth dagger by a rare maker, C. D. Schaaf. "Hitler Youth" was initially an organization formed to groom teenagers as anti-Semites, but during the War the Youths became fair game to restore depleted military manpower.The blade has an RZM mark and is dated 1938. It also reads BLUT UND EHRE (blood and honor), an inscription that is all but nonexistent by 1940. The knife has an enameled brass insert on its handle and fits into a sheath with a leather strap to secure it.
