SPANISH FALANGE YOUTH KNIFE DATED 1936 COMPLETE WITH ORIGINAL BELT, BUCKLE AND CLOTH BADGE.

This very rare Spanish youth knife is modelled on the German Hitler youth knife. The steel hilt retains 85% original factory blackened finish, The black celluloid grip plates are in perfect condition, the obverse grip plate is inset with the Spanish fascist red, black and gold diamond badge of the Falange. The blade shows some light age spotting over the entire surface of the blade, these blades often had a very lightly etched motto (Ariba Espana) but if so it is very difficult to see now, the reverse side of the blade is stamped, Seam 1936/8 with a tiny flaming grenade stamp. The scabbard which is identical to the German HJ scabbard retains 90% original black paint and it is fitted with a black leather belt loop and grip retaining strap, Complete with original black leather belt with silver buckle which features a design of a bundle of five arrows, complete with original Spanish arm shield with title, ESPANA and with iron cross and swastika design and the five Spanish arrows. A very rare complete set. This is the first Spanish youth knife that I have owned, it is extremely rare. Exc+
