Herman,
Tell me something, what do you regard personally as Real Proof ?
Maybe an hj knife with solid red that you yourself bought directly from the hj vets son or daughter ?
at the end of the day what we are basically discussing is the colour of the enamel: solid red.
Solid red enamel is accepted as genuine as discussed already, comes in a variety of TR badges & hj pins, also hj diamonds were made with the proper tangs on the rear to be fitted into the griplate of hj knifes, just the same way clear hj knife diamonds were made during the period, personally i take all the past evidence together with owning & examining hj knifes with solid reds finding no tampering makes me feel more positive & relaxed about them, i do not think you will find any period evidence why solid red diamonds made it into the manufacture of various hj knife makers, if anybody manages to the find out anything new let us know.
Regards Mac 66.
