Default Help needed on RZM M7/13 HJ Knife

I need some opinions on this HJ knife. It's an RZM M7/13 example by Schuttelhofer. It has most of what you look for in an original:
  • Steel scabbard with no lip or flair at the opening and with the small rivet on the front
  • HJ diamond clipped not glued in (moves when pressed) and diamond recess "cuts" into the grip pattern.
  • Leather has wear and smells old
  • Nice patena and genuine looking wear (i.e. plating wear to hilt where it rubbed on the snap and rivet, genuine looking wear to black paint, etc.)
  • RZM mark correctly positioned on the blade reverse.
The only thing I don't like about it is the HJ diamond which has the smooth red enamel not the typical pebbled appearance. This one looks like other Schuttlehoher's I have found pictures of including the style of the RZM mark and the distinctive curved line between the blade and ricasso.
