Nothing to scream about but with a good condition blade

Hello,

Is it possible you mixed up your pictures
Pic number two is IMO from another knife (# HJ diamond, #fixation screw, #fixation leather band) just to state a few differences from what I can see on the pics.

But as you stated yourself nothing really spectacular, nevertheless a well conditioned late period (1940) made knife.
Also still to consider, wether or not the blade and pommel have had a shine job....... Better not to do, and to keep the knife in an untoughed condition.

Collectors will appreciate this more and the piece will go significantly up in $$$$, should you one day consider selling it.

That's a very nice conditioned blade, from the pics it is hard to tell if it has been heavily cleaned or not.

A nice later piece with a zinc hilt and great diamond.

Regards

i would add another pic : i've made an RX of the grip that shows the 2 metal labels that hold the diamond and why most of the times the diamond rolls

NEAT picture,


that you have acces to this (RX)material, to indeed show us the right way a HJ diamond inlay is fixed to the handle of a knife.

Well done.
