Hello Mike,
You have a 1936 Anton Wingen Jr HJ knife, one of the "mottoed RZM only" marked knifes.
All the nice ones, that I have seen had the annodised scabbard, like yours, so it must be original to the knife.
You have the version with ricasso, the same knife also exists with the early blade version (no ricasso).
It is a pitty that a grip plate got broken, otherwise a nice catch.
Best greetings,
Herman
You never have enough HJ-knifes!

I know Johnson sells the grips, but how do you peen the new rivets over so as to not smash the plastic?

Indeed, that is a excellent deal: only the annodised scabbard is worth that much.
