I found this knife for sale locally, but I am unsure if it is a genuine HJ knife, or a post war scout knife - any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Kurby,
scabbard is not Original. I can not read the Maker Mark, but a late Period like this one should be Marked with an RZM Stamp.
I dont have much Experience with HJ Knives, but i would pass on this one.
I know the Prices are really high for a nice HJ at the Moment, but save some more Money and buy a nice mid or early Example.
You will not have Problems reselling a good Textbook Example in the Future.
Looks like post-war Scout Knife with the fleur de lis removed.
If that is a Hubertus maker mark, it is a post war knife.
The sheath is definitely post war due to the lip at the throat.
Maybe a $50. knife on a good day.
Ralph.

Thanks folks, I had my suspicions - I will avoid!
Recently discussed these repros in another thread is that is what it is. Purchased a HJ look alike knife back in the 60s sans the swastika of course. Been stamping out more of this post war stuff for longer than I thought.
Obviously made from the same dies as a HJ dagger, but the lack of swastika diamond, and "Blut und Ehre" inscription, I would tend to think it's post war, or "de-Nazified" It's still a great piece.
As Mauser9 points out a recent thread discussed the Hubertus post war scout knives, like this one.
I picked up a mint post war scouts knife to actually use it. But it was so nice it just went in the display cabinet
"Please", Thank You" and proper manners appreciated
My greatest fear is that one day I will die and my wife will sell my guns for what I told her I paid for them
