Fireman's Dress Bayonets
BA-52 Long Fireman's Dress Bayonet
Blade- is a nice plated example with no sharpening or
damage. Nice and bright. Exc++/NM Scabbard is a period repaint with
no dents and say about 95%+ of paint intact. Grip plates are nicely
fit without any damage and secured with brass rivets. No cracks or chips
anywhere. Bit of plating lifting on the back of the hilt but certainly
98%+. Overall Exc++

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 catalogue 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

Police Bayonets
POL-20 Krebs
Private Purchase Short Police Bayonet
Here's a rare variation of a mid-war bayo that few have in their collections. 90% of
the Police bayo's you ever find are the cut-down Weimar type. These
private purchase examples were also available at extra cost for the well
heeled Officer. The private purchase examples are typically lighter and
smaller making them easier to carry than the common heavy chunky cut-down
Wiemar era std types. This particular example has
a plated blade that shows lots of age grey, it is a VG/Exc example with the correct
stamped Krebs maker mark. The stamp is deeply executed. No sharpening. The
aluminum based
hilt of this example is about 80% of std size, it's finer and more elegant
than it's std issue cousin. It shows minor wear. The stag grip plates are a nice brown horn. The
edges have golden color, as do the trimmed surfaces. They are retained by
two dressed rivets. The grip
insignia is a tight aluminum one with honest wear. Steel scabbard shell shows
minor wear with a small dent to the reverse and some minor oxidizing. The shell is fitted with
solid nickel scabbard mounts. These have
scalloped edges and are in fine shape with wear but no damage. The
lower is secured with a staple and the upper by two intact screws. Nicely
finishing this one is a black dress frog and Police portepee. Overall Exc/Exc+

POL-25 Hörster Slotted
Municipal Police Bayonet
Hard to find these bayo's in the slotted
version. This one is has
a quality double marked and proofed nickel plated blade in Exc++ condition.
There are a couple scuffs and small nicks to the "cutting" edge but no grey, sharpening or plating loss
so often common on these. The
hilt of this example is in good shape showing honest wear to the solid
nickel fittings to include some taps to the back of the hilt. The
release button assembly is steel as it should be. The plating is gone from
it as is normally seen on these slotted versions. The reverse is stamped
"S.Kz.71." matching the scabbard. The stamp indicates issue to
Schutzpolizei Polizeiverwaltung Koblenz. The grip plates are flawless with the
correct pinned police eagle. They are retained by two dressed aluminum rivets. The grip
insignia is a tight aluminum one with honest wear. Scabbard shell is
in good shape with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges.
It does show normal scuffs from wear and could use some love with some
shoe wax that would really spiff this up. The stitching is
all intact. The shell is fitted with nickel plated scabbard mounts. These have
scalloped edges and show wear with minor plating loss at the ball and freckling. They
are held by staples in the usual manner. Exc++

POL-21 Höller
Municipal Police Bayonet
Nice bayonet with all the accoutrements. Cut down Weimar period
Police bayo, as most of these were. This one is heavy brass based with
good nickel plating. The blade is clean with just a hint of age grey
towards the tip, The tip also has the slightest of waves to the last 2mm,
I have gone to extreme lengths here to give you the worse possible view.
The hilt of this example is a beauty, showing excellent finish I can see
nowhere the plating has worn through showing the brass base. The reverse
is stamped, "S.D.V.101.R.I" matching the scabbard. The stamp indicates
issue to Schutzpolizei Polizeiverwaltung Düsseldorf. The spine is also
proofed. The grip plates are flawless with the correct pinned police
eagle. They are retained by two dressed aluminum rivets. The grip insignia

of the edges. The stitching is all intact. The shell is fitted with nickel
plated scabbard mounts. These have scalloped edges and show some
minor plating loss to the lower reverse. They are held by staples in the
usual manner. Finishing this piece is the original frog and nice
portepee. Overall Exc++

and maker marked frog with a worn but serviceable portepee. Oh, the bit of
black on the portepee is cause some of the leather has crazed and stuck to
the ball. Exc++

POL-26 Alcoso
Municipal Police Bayonet
Tough to find these in superior condition, finally one you will

Police bayo, as most of these were. This one is heavy brass based with
good nickel plating. The blade is clean with no gray, age nicks, no
nothing. Certainly NM. The
hilt of this example is a beauty, showing excellent finish I can see

POL-24 Hörster Slotted
Rural Police Bayonet
Hard to find these bayo's in the rural
version. This one is has
a quality double marked and proofed nickel plated blade in Exc++ condition.
There are a couple scuffs and light mark from normal use but no grey, sharpening or plating loss
so often common on these. The
hilt of this example is in good shape showing honest wear to the solid
nickel fittings. The reverse is stamped
"L.Hi.89." matching the scabbard. The stamp indicates issue to

shape being free of chips and cracks. They have aged to a pleasing yellow
tone with the
correct pinned police eagle. They are retained by two dressed aluminum rivets. The grip
insignia is a tight aluminum one with honest wear. Scabbard shell is
in good shape with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges.
It does show normal scuffs from wear and evidence of a fold at some point
to the front 3" up from the lower fitting. I'm tempted to make this "go
away" with a bit of shoe polish but that, I leave to you. The stitching is
all intact. The shell is fitted with nickel plated scabbard mounts. These have
scalloped edges and show wear with a wee dent to the lower just up from
the ball. Some of plating is worn off on the ball exposing the brass base.
Finally the original brown rural frog remains on this as well as the
original portepee. The frog is maker marked and dated. Shoot the frog
itself is far rarer than the bayo! Look how the portepee is "welded" to
the frog. I love this stuff!! One strap of the portepee is busted and
rather than have any further damage the ball is zip tied to the scabbard. Exc++
