Thanks.
Cheers.

I believe the real one doesn't have a lip on the scabbard.

Hi Nuno, it is a fake.

As already pointed out, these don't have any kind of lip to the scabbard throath. Bogus 1943 stamp too. The knife itself has a poor overall shape and badly applied markings.

Cheers, Ade.

I had a feeling about that.
Thank you for the help.
Cheers.

Hello Nuno, Yes its surly a fake. The blood and honor wasnt etched in the blade after 1938 and the scabbard as Ade said...has no lip. On the handle as well... rarely... if ever does the HJ daimond line up with the checks in the platic grip.
Cheers, Edwin

The rivets on the leather and the leather itself look almost brand new.
