The DRK hewer was developed in 1938. The DRK, “Deutsches Rotes Kreuz” (German Red Cross) was a voluntary civil assistance organization under the control of the NSDAP. To conform to non-combatant status under the International Geneva Convention in WWII, this dagger / hewer was designed with a squared tip so as not to be considered a weapon when carried in the field.
This WWII Red Cross NCO hewer in in untouched condition. The nickle-silver plated blade is bright with visible cross graining and minor spotting . The cast alloy guard and pommel retains its nickle-silver plating. Both black Bakelite grips are immaculate and the grip screws appear as though they have never been turned. The black leather washer (where the guard meets the blade) is excellent. The blade ricasso is marked, “Ges. Gesch.” meaning Gesetzlich Geschützt (protected by law). The black enamel scabbard has a few natural wear spots on the reverse side and under the leather frog. The leather frog is supple and marked “jhk 41″. The set screws on the nickle-silver plated scabbard fittings appear to be unturned.
This Red Cross hewer is right and tight. It has not been messed with by collector hands!
