Anybody

Hard to tell from these pictures,but I do not like diamond and grip plates.
The shape of blade ricasso is also strange .
Scabbard looks good to me.
That's just my opinion,sorry

I see nothing that jumps out to me... looks like a late period HJ (1938-1945). Is there an RZM mark? Possible it was sharpened off, since it looks like the blade took some of that. The scabbard should be magnetic and the diamond should have a wobble to it!

Concern regarding ricasso, look here: Ricasso Example Photos they are always not perfectly across, but I would still do the tests I suggested above

Looks oaky to me though!

rajko, this hj looks ok to me & i bet it had an ink RZM stamp on the blade that has worn off with ware/cleaning, The griplates, daimond, rivets & scabbard all look good

Late war production hj knife,

heres an example of the ink stamp,

I am glad it is good, I just was not sure being that it did not have any markes on it, but the HJ insignia look good, and I was sure about scabbard also.
thank you
