Here’s a nice transitional Hitler Youth knife by WKC Solingen, RZM M7/42. Being solid nickel, this knife has a noticeably heavy weight when compared to the later war plated examples.
The grip plates are without cracks or chips, and fit like a glove to the hilt. There is some corrosion spotting throughout but nothing abnormal. The red, white, gold and black diamond emblem is very nice, with only a couple flaws seen in the photos. A very small section of the white enamel is missing, and there appears to be a small impact mark in one of the red enamel sections.
The original leather scabbard buffer pad is present. The blade shows expected wear for these Hitler Youth knives, including a decent amount of scratching across the width of the blade. The motto is prominent on the front of the blade, and the maker mark as well (on the reverse). The transitional maker’s mark consists of the RZM number, “7/42”, followed by the date, “1936”. Beneath those marking is the traditional WKC knight’s head logo with “WKC Solingen” imprinted beneath it.
The scabbard fit is tight. The scabbard paint is mixed across much of the surface with oxidation, but still maintains a nice deep tone with much of the wear on the reverse. What’s left of the leather hanger strap isn’t of much use, but you can see what’s present in the photos.

Luftwaffe M42 Winter Camo Single Decal SD Helmet
SOLD!Have one to sell, or looking to buy one of these? Click here and let us know. We're always looking to buy, and may have more in stock.Here we have an interesting M42 Luftwaffe Single Decal helmet with the remnants of the winter camo still present around the eagle, the rim, and other areas of the exterior. This is not uncommon as the soldier “scrubbed” the camo on/off of the helmet depending on the terrain. Winter camo Luftwaffe helmets are very difficult to find in any condition, and while the white of the camo has been scrubbed from the surface, even having the remnants present makes this a rare find.
