That's the mark of Herbertz & Meurer, Solingen-Gr�fath, still in operation as of 2002.

A small cottage maker, known for SAs & some HJ knives. I've seen this mark before on a Luft2 & I think a Heer dagger. It's been disputed as postwar but as we've all learned in this hobby, "never say never".

Just from the picture, this particular mark looks like it's on the surface of the blade & not stamped or etched into it. Photo etched maybe?
