Very nice original knife Luca!

The diamond is good, looks like something in the gap, might just be dirt.

Will be easier to tell when you have it in hand.

IMHO the knife looks good: blade, scabbard... look very good. The diamond, however, is not the best in this knife. It is difficult to tell from the pics if it has been glued or not.
 
Not al the diamonds wiggle. Some people claim they should.
Good knife!

Agreed. Collector lore says they should but if the prongs were attached well and the knife has not been abused sometimes the diamond does not wiggle. A glued in diamond is a bad sign but can't tell if that's the case with this knife from the photos.
 
Knife has arrived and ,as usual,i've made an Rx...Prongs seem intact and no glue

Just saw this thread and wanted to say congrats on the knife (Diamond) being good!

I, personally, give a knife additional scrutiny when the Diamond does not wiggle. BUT, I am a believer that not all Diamonds wiggle. Like it was said above, it depends on the installation. To me, the wiggle is just more evidence of authenticity, but it is not always the case.

Anyway, congrats on a very nice piece of HJ history!
