Police Bayonets

POL-5072 E & F. Horster Police Bayonet
Here's one at a great price! The double stamped Horster plated blade rates Exc+. There is some oxidization/pitting throughout and the tip is a bit rusted. The blade is also proof stamped to its spine and the original buffer pad remains intact. The hilt and pommel show minor wear but remain in good condition with nice details. The hilt is proof stamped "L. Ka.1." matching the scabbard. The multi-toned stag grip plates are a bit loose but fine, you can likely tighten these up with a punch and a well-placed hit. The plates are retained by two dressed aluminum rivets. The correct pinned police eagle shows excellent detail! The scabbard body has nice color with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges. The stitching shows areas where it is starting to come apart. The shell is fitted with well-worn nickel plated scalloped edged scabbard mounts. The bottom fitting looks wider than normal and just to be safe I'll call it a replacement. When it was put in there, who knows. Oh, and there is a small space where the scabbard and hilt come together. A well-worn example at a price you can't beat! Overall Exc

BA-212 Eickhorn Baden Police Bayonet
Here's a rare piece. This Baden police sidearm has a 41cm nickeled blade, which is worn with age grey and pitting due to moisture exposure over the years. Although it's been cleaned hard there's no sharpening. The blade has the Eichkorn double oval stamp. Blade rates VG. These Badisches Polizei-Seitengewehr have very distinctive nickel plated hits, cast out of one piece. The curved crossguard and pommel look good, with minor age wear. The celluloid black checkered grip and two rivets are in the same condition as the hilt, with minor age wear and soiling. There is a black leather scabbard with two decorative lines scribed on the obverse and a sewn seam on the reverse. The leather is in great condition with minor scratches and marks from honest wear. The two metal scabbard fittings are separate scalloped pieces, retained by two staples and show excellent plating. The lower staple is loose and this is commonly seen on this design scabbard from the leather shrinking. The fittings remain to be in great shape. This piece was designed solely as a side arm and could not affix to a rifle, although remains to be called a bayonet. This is a rare piece missing from most collections. If you can live with the blade you just purchased a good example at ½ retail!! Overall Rates Exc
