Thanks! This one kind of fell in my lap as I was not really looking for one nor knew a thing about them but glad I got it. Hope you get yours soon and you enjoy it. Post it up when you get it!

Hi Ram,

Not likely 'cause yours will be a tough act to follow and moreso now!

I just noticed while comparing yours to my dealer pictures that even if the overall/front condition is about the same mine has a round plate under the catch (yours doesnt) which doesnt give me a warm & fuzzy feeling. While mine was described as "lightly worn without damages or repairs" by the seller I may have focused too much on the fact the front HJ diamond enamel wasnt cracked, chipped or repaired (as a lot of them are) but didnt pay any attention to the catch

Take care

Hi Jean Claude! Hopefully it does not mean bad news and its an old repair. I saw this one the other day for 225.00. The only other one I had ever seen was a fake so I did a crash course on here to make sure it was good before I bought it and it appeared correct to me based on the pics on here in other threads. I don't really know what they normally sell for but 225.00 seemed reasonable given the condition. Now I need to get a HJ armband and HJ Knife to go with it!
