rosco0920, :welcome:

Well, there's no recognized version of the "Hitler Youth Knife" that was made in a "Luxembourg" variation!....at least not officially. You'd have to post photographs of the knife, blade, markings, sheath, and grip insignia.....before anyone can really give any kind of "educated" opinion.

Lot's of "leftover" parts were sometimes modified for early postwar sales....and sometimes "GI Joe, Tommie, or Ivan" modified souviners for thier own purposes....it could be something on that idear! But would need photos....
