It bears some stylistic similarity to the HJ knife, but it is not an HJ knife. I suspect it is actually post WW2 made. The good news is it probably is Solingen made, the sleeping Lion logo is associated with the Carl Lutters company, also called Lowenwerke, but the "Monarch" mark places it firmly into the post war period, probably 1950's.

Maybe my Grandpa bought it as a reminder for his own soldier days in Indonesia as a Dutch Soldier. I dont know for sure, because he lost his memory in the last years of his life. Thanks anyway for the info

This is a Lütters logo IMO.
In this form, with a monarch inscription, I have not yet seen an HJ knife.
The scabbard looks HJ. with missing dyeing and leather.

Post war German scout knives used a very similar pattern to the wartime HJ type. The field made grips are a nice touch. A knife with a history your Grandfather made. Maybe not TR, but historic all the same.
