The HJ Knife RZM M7/28 refers to a specific model of a Hitler Youth (HJ) knife manufactured by Gustav Felix, a Solingen-based blade maker in Germany. These knives were a standard issue and held both a functional and symbolic significance. Here's a breakdown of the key aspects of this item:

RZM (Reichszeugmeisterei): The organization responsible for regulating and approving the production of Nazi-related equipment, ensuring uniformity and quality.
M7: The RZM code for edged weapons (knives and daggers).
28: The specific manufacturer's code assigned to Gustav Felix.

The HJ knife was both a practical tool and a symbol of loyalty to the Nazi regime. Young members of the Hitler Youth carried these knives during training exercises, hikes, and other activities. Production quality varied over time, especially towards the latter part of World War II as materials became scarce.

These knives are sought after by collectors of militaria. Factors affecting their value include:

Condition: The presence and legibility of the blade motto, intact enamel on the HJ insignia, and minimal rust or wear.
Authenticity: Original examples are far more valuable than post-war reproductions.
Manufacturer: Gustav Felix is one of several authorized manufacturers; knives from specific makers may be more desirable to collectors.
