Sorry, it's a post war knife
Thanks, what gives it away?
I've never seen those rivets on a HJ knife. I wonder if that indicates the grips have been replaced or removed so a HJ diamond can be fitted. Photo is not good enough to comment on authenticity of the diamond. The maker's mark is a mystery to me, but I would say post war scout knife disguised as HJ.
It's one of those post war scouts knives with the HJ diamond added - purely to deceive
A good thread to read from a past member shows that many of the period producers who survived the war..were still producing ..some up to present day..of these hJ knives.
I have one of these produced in the 1970s by Robert Klaas.
