Municipal “Cut-Down” - Seitengewehr für Polizei by P.D. Luneschloss of Solingen. The plated bade on this one is nice. It is rsut free. It has a perfect fit and sharp tip! The stamped spine proof stamp and maker mark are all correctly executed! The blade rates NM. The scabbard is clearly marked “S.D.IV. 422” (Schutzpolizei Düsseldorf und Verkehr) exactly matching the crossguard. The black leather scabbard body looks excellent. It has some wear and age yet retains all of its stitching. The four vertical lines running through it give that finishing touch of German detail! The early brass based nickel plated scalloped scabbard fittings look good as well! They are perfectly dent-free and good plating remains with some spotting. They are both tightly secured with the staples. The scabbard snugly fits the hilt. The brass based, nickel plated hilt looks great! It depicts wonderful detail throughout, with the oak leaves and acorns and highly detailed pommel eagle! 97% of the plating remains intact with just a bit of loss to the high areas. The multi-toned stag grip plates are tightly secured with two aluminum rivets. The centrally placed police eagle remains.
