Hi. I have the same knife in my collection! Though mine is a bit more salty lol.
This is a transitional knife. It does have the motto, doesnt it? If not, maybe it was polished.
As it is a transitional example, it is "common" among them. Could you post a photo of the observe blade without the reflection.
Thats such a nice knife!

Hello JC,

That is a very nice, late Tiger HJ, your pictures show a non-magnetic hilt, so it is normal that there is no motto on the blade because it was produced after 1938.

Is that an annodised scabbard?

A close-up of the grip plates and the diamond is needed in order to give a definite opinion on those parts.

Best greetings,

Herman

Here are some other close up.

Hello JC,

That last picture is not too sharp but the diamond looks fine.

Very nice late Tiger HJ-knife you got yourself!

Best greetings,

Herman

Interesting. I thought it was a transitional with a faded motto.
Thanks for the clarification, Herman.

Hello Santiago,

The motto-ed "transitional" Tiger HJ that you think of looks very similar, but is normaly marked with the year of production (see picture) and has a steel based hilt. I only have found 1936 examples of this one so far.

Best greetings,

Herman

Thanks for the photo!
Yes i see. Mine doesnt have the year, but i think it was worned off, because the "68" isnt very clear either.
