Hi Robert,

Welcome to the the HJ Research forum. I am no expert on HJ knifes but it looks good to me. A nice transitional knife, as it has a good makers name on the blade and RZM number with date on the ricasso, looks to have nickel silver fittings, they started using zinc fittings from 1938, correct black leather work, it was brown on earlier scabbards. Nice non chipped HJ diamond. A nice condition HJ knife for its age. Look on the forum you will see many other examples of this maker.

Best regards....Ewan
