FI-24 Sawback Fireman's Dagger Bayonet Style
Very heavy and very cool piece. This model is described in original catalogs as "Sawback Bayonet Style". I guess because the daggers were also being offered at the time. Blade is a plated example that has been retipped. The sawback is symbolic of the fire fighters need to cut away fallen timbers. The plating shows minor wear and scuffs. The blade is unmarked. The hilt is brass based to include the clamshell. Scabbard has matching brass fittings that are shrunk fit to a leather body with dual decorative lined running done both obverse and reverse. The stitching is all intact. Liners are wooden. Similar example can be seen in Eickhorn's 1908 catalog as model 743. This is also illustrated in Collecting the Edged Weapons of Imperial Germany by Tom Johnson pg 229 and Angolia's Sword reference pg 488 Overall Exc

Go-11 Alcoso Government Official
Always a pleasure to pick up a Government Official dagger. I can't put my finger on it, but just holding one makes you appreciate dress daggers at their Zenith. This elegant model displays German craftsmanship at it's best! The polished maker marked blade is an Mint- example with all crossgraining. Perfect tip, this is a nice blade. The thin leather blade buffer is in place. Classic Alcoso fittings are all silver washed and that patina is very nice. The plating is excellent 99% intact. I can only find the slightest evidence of wear unlike the heavily worn examples there none of the brass brass base coming through. This thing is perfectly fit together. No gaps, no breaks, no cracks, no nothing! The elegant mother of pearl grip plates are crack and chip-free, there is a wee rub on the obverse grip plate right at the edge of the belly. it's about as big as this "o". The pommel shows evidence it's been turned at some point but it's all patinaed so it was a long time ago. All the patina matches. The undented silver plated scabbard is set off by well detailed bands. Plating is 100% with plating intact even to the tip! The throat is retained by screws. Overall this is a thing of beauty that wonderfully shows off hand fitted craftsmanship! Exc++

PO-32 Weyersberg Postal Protection Dagger
Here's a good example out of an advanced collection. Paul Weyersberg maker marked blade shows some light evidence of cleaning with some age gray. There is still some crossgrain and the maker mark is perfectly executed. The tip is perfect and there's no sharpening. Rates Exc+ Dent-free scabbard features original paint at 97%+ coverage with some honest loss that often happens on these from the chain and normal period use. There is some light evidence of wear but no damage. The fittings are undamaged and completely dent free retaining their plating at 99%+!! The screws are all intact and unturned. Grip shows honest wear with some light pressure marks. There is some chipping that I have shown completely. The previous owner covered this up with a post-war portepee but I have pulled this back to clearly disclose everything about this. The unique postal insignia is properly pinned proud of the surface, as it should be. The crossguard is correctly stamped under the quillions with the ultra low three digit issue number "858" and "DRP". This is the lowest number I have seen. The hilt enamel to the swas's is 100%. Lastly the chain is intact and never been messed with. All the connectors are right and the clip is correct too. The clip functions fine and like so many of these zinc based clips it wants to spring past the keeper. This is a fine example. Overall Exc+/Exc++

Fi-27 Eickhorn Fire Official's Dagger
A tough dagger to buy as these remained basically unchanged from the early 1900's through the 1960's, proving one of these to be pre-45 is a challenge unless you really know them. This one has all the pre-45 characteristics one would expect to include the early stamped Eickhorn trademark. The Fireman's etch on this one is fantastic. Rarely does one find a nice deep dark etch like this. There is some minor age. Despite this I still rate the blade Exc++. The hilt is solid nickel matching the scabbard in both color and patina. The center obverse panel depicts a fire helmet on 2 fire axes. The textbook Eickhorn cloverleaf quillion is in fine shape. The grip is tightly wrapped in a double brass wire over a dark blue/black leather wrap. The grip leather shows wear and would greatly benefit from some wax. The pommel unlike every other German dagger of the period is textbook "door knob" style. The end of the pommel is correctly pierced with the tang making this an impossible dagger to disassemble without doing damage. Scabbard body is a black leather with 2 decorative lined running down both sides. The center reverse is stitched together with all the stitches intact. The scabbard fittings are solid nickel being secured with 2 nickel staples, (post-war we see plated fittings). The leather does show some scuffs. Overall Exc++

Axe-2 Stunning Double Engraved Gilt Fire Official's Dress Axe with Hangers
Here's a rare beast I am proud to be able to offer to the collecting community. The very first thing you will notice about this is that it weighs a ton! I've seen these before in plated nickel and plain steel but this is the first example I've ever seen in solid brass. I expect this would have been owned by a high ranking Fire Official. Extremely ornate the head is double engraved with a beauty motif featuring ladders, axes, picks, helmets around a background of oak leaves. There is some dirt to the cutting edge and some evidence of hitting something resulting in a few bruises. It also is a bit dirty. I have not tried to clean this at all. The etching is all crisp and has a gold wash that really makes the etch come to life. The other fittings are all solid brass. The hardwood grip has a thick lacquer paint. Finishing the axe is a set of period hangers. These came in as many variations as there were makers. These came with the piece and rightly will stay with it. Finally a wonderfully unique piece that most have never seen! Overall Exc++

MVSN-1 Itallian
M.V.S.N. Model 1937 with Hangers and Portepee
Here's a good example out
of an advanced collection. Produced by Gnutti in Italy these were
popular throughout Facist Italy. Plated mirror bright this blade is
stone mint. As with all of these they are unmarked. The tip is
perfect and there's no sharpening. Dent-free scabbard, I was told is a
repaint, but it sure looks like original paint to me. Regardless, I'm calling this
a repaint with 100% of the finish intact. There is some light evidence
of wear but no damage. The fittings are undamaged and completely dent
free. The lower has aged to a copper color we often see. The screws
retaining the throat are intact and unturned. Grip and
hilt shows just the lightest pressure marks from honest wear.
The black bakelite inserted plates indicate this was worn by and officer
of the rank under colonel. The Fasces is perfectly inserted. The
brass scabbard bands are in perfect shape and correctly fastened. Included
is a matching model 1937 chain hanger with 7 lower and 4 upper brass
ringlets terminating at a big "M" (for Mussolini) attached to this is a
clip with a Roman eagle above the letters "SPQR", Senatis Populus
Que Romanus, meaning ( The Senate and the People of Rome). Some of
the paint to the clip is missing. Finally nicely finishing the piece is
a post-war gold and black dress portepee. Overall

RA-8 Klaas 1st Model Railway Dagger
Out of an advanced collection this one I sold years ago and I'm happy to get it
back on a trade. The most widely accepted maker of the 1st Model railway Klaas daggers are
my personal passion and this one has all the attributes you
want when buying one of these. Blade is an Exc+/Exc++ example with minor age
dots and smudging. The maker mark is
deeply stamped. Brown leather buffer pad is intact. Most crossgrain is
present. Black trylon grip is a beauty example. It is chip
and crack free. The hilt fittings are silver plated
with better than 99% of the finish intact! Look
at the silvering! Really nice right down to the hand worked pommel. Crossguard is
the generic "B" variant that we most often see with these
Railway daggers. Scabbard nicely silver plated with some light honest
wear. Say better than 98% plating. The throat
is retained by 2 screws. The shell is dent-free. Edges of the bands
are Klass marked with their trademark astrix "*". A completely
text-book dagger with all matching patina. It's a super example.

Here's a nice TENO at a reasonable price. Bright blade has a deep matte black etched maker mark and TENO eagle. The blade does show some gray from old fingerprints but not bad. The blade surface is matte and this is exactly the way these were made. Seems we see so many buffed examples that we sometimes begin to think that's how they're supposed to look!! The low 4 digit etched number under the crossguard eagle of course matches the number on the scabbard throat. Exc+/Exc++! Undented scabbard body retains 96% of the glossy enamel paint with some honest period wear and surface crazing but no dents. Brushed plated fittings are in fine shape with no damage and a bit of factory lacquer still remains. All screws are intact and unturned. The hilt has a matte nickel plated finish over pot-metal, (as all of these are). The plating is 97% intact with a bit of lifting to the sides around the grip plates and the back of the crossguard from period wear. The backgrounds of these TENO hilts are factory burnished and this one's burnish is nicely intact. The perfect grip plates are well fit and secured with unturned screws. If you pull these plates you with find the underside of these plates embossed with the Eick. logo. Pls don't do it, I just mention for interest sake. A nice example at a price that you can afford.

PO-35 Krebs Private Purchase Municipal Police Bayonet
Sure there's lots of Police bayos hanging about but finding this private purchase example is very tough. Nickel plated blade is 9 3/4" long and unlike most Police bayo's this was NOT factory shortened but exactly how it was made. The blade is a full Mint- with no issues, just normal in/out marks. The reverse riccasso is stamped Carl Julius Krebs in a single oval. The aluminum based hilt of this example is in good shape with nice finish and attention to detail. The stag grip plates are a naturally textured brown horn. They show only light wear with no chips or cracks. The edges have golden color, as do the trimmed surfaces. They are retained by two dressed steel rivets. The grip insignia is a tight aluminum one with fine detail. Scabbard shell is made of steel with a black painted finish. I would say the paint is 99% with a few miniscule chips to the reverse. The lower fitting is plated steel with some hits to the reverse. It is held by a single staple in the usual manner. The guy I got this from added a post-war frog to it and an original Krebs tag so this is how I will sell it. This is a real nice piece obtained from an advanced collection. Overall Exc++

The edges have golden color, as do the trimmed surfaces. They are retained by two dressed aluminum rivets.

I'm tempted to just touch this with some light brown shoe polish and make the few small scuffs just disappear, but I leave this to you. The stitching is intact but a bit stretched where the runners have been pressing. The shell is fitted with nickel scabbard mounts. These have scalloped edges and are in fine shape showing only minor period wear. They are held by staples in the usual manner. Overall Exc++
