For transitional HJ Knife collectors ...it is one not commonly seen and appears correct having the large grip diamond.

The mark is for Carl Julius Krebs, they sometimes used "Kronenkrebs Solingen" and did continue in production post WW2. But I like the look of this one.
Thank you for the informative responses, I was wondering if it was postwar due to it being a variant I hadn't seen. Much better to have it be rare (hopefully) than worthless!
a nice HJ knife by Krebs, the gripplates have the right pattern Krebs used on their period knives.
I have no doubts that its a nice original, but its been sharpened and has a lot of wear.
But these HJ members used them as tools, not only to show them on parades!

Thanks everyone, I think I'm going to pick it up since it's around $400, which I think is pretty reasonable. Especially since prices recently have seemed more expensive than this from most dealers.
Nice youth knife. I would be going back to buy at $400.
