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

CU-7 Releathered Hörster Land Customs
Well guys I rescued this one from a sad place. When I got it the leather was all dried up and only about 50% was intact. After looking at the handwork on the crossguard I decided it was worth the time and expense of sending it to a professional restorer. The Hörster marked polished blade is in nice shape with no gray or age but does appear to have been cleaned. Rates Exc++ with lots of crossgrain remaining. The leather blade buffer is in place. This dagger employs the textbook aluminum fittings with upswept Customs eagle wings. What really attracted me to this one was the hand chiseling done to the wing details. See how each individual feather is hammered into place? This was not cast rather someone did all that by hand. Show me anything today that's made with this kind of care and attention to detail. This is exactly why German daggers are so addictive! Ok, I'll stop before I get carried away here. There is light wear but no damage. The unique Customs pommel is matching in patina and wear. These fittings are set off by a grip that is correctly wire wrapped with the springy type wire that Hörster used. The undented scabbard has detailed bands with the correct chased line approx 5mm in from the front scabbard fitting edges. Guy's this detail is an absolute must on Customs daggers! The pieces with the scribed lines going right around these fittings are all fakes! No exceptions. Breaks my heart seeing guys throwing money away on those pieces! The fitting are all secured with headless aluminum screws. The throat is intrigal to the upper fitting. Finally when I picked this up the hangers were in tough shape with busted snaps. These were replaced and the hangers resewn. Of course the fittings have the correct customs leaves. Ok guys, I have tried very hard to be complete here in both my description and photography. Yes, some work has been done on this but it's priced at hundreds less than what you would expect to pay. Exc++

PO-37 Weyersberg Postal Protection Dagger
Here's a good example out of an advanced collection. Paul Weyersberg maker marked blade shows some age gray and evidence of cleaning. Most of the crossgrain is gone. The maker mark is perfectly executed. The tip is perfect and there's a few scuffs but no sharpening. Rates Exc/Exc+. Dent-free scabbard features a professioanlly repainted scabbard. 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. Grip shows honest wear with some light pressure marks. There is some chipping that I have shown completely. 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 "350" and "DRP". This is the lowest number I have seen. The hilt enamel to the swas's is 100%. The hilt plating does show some minor age. Lastly the chain is intact and never been messed with. All the connectors are right and the clip is broke and absoluted correct too. The clip is correctly marked DRGM as it should be. Nope not mint but completely correct and won't put you out $4k! Overall Exc+

TE-14 Early Teno Leader
One of the most elusive of all Third Reich pieces. These are rare. The TENO leader was one of the last para-military groups to get their own individual dagger. The design submitted by Eickhorn was approved in 1938 for their exclusive manufacture, a full five years after the SA dagger was adopted! The blade is a conservative Exc+/Exc++ example with good crossgrain. There are witness marks where the runners have rested for the last 70 years. The odd scratch and scuff but really nothing serious. The tip is perfect. No nicks, pitting sharpening or nasties to put you off. The reverse is factory etched with the mid period Eickhorn logo, (the only trademark ever used on this dagger!) As well, above that, is the TENO service eagle framed with "Ges Gesch.". Additionally behind the obverse crossguard eagle is stamped "0397". An early issue piece for sure! The black pebbled leather blade buffer is in place. As with so many of these pot-metal based hilts this one does suffer some minor plating loss and lifting. Fortunately the worse is to the reverse. I would say that conservatively the hilt retains better than 90% plating. I love the black background burnish and the fine attention to detail always evident on these. The pommel cogwheel is perfectly executed. These fittings are set off by a trylon orange colored grip. The grip is perfect. The undented plated scabbard has very good black burnish. Real nice to see. I see these often "cleaned" by well meaning collectors who belive the black is just patina- it's not!! These are mean to be blackened!!! 100% of the scabbard plating is intact and the only burnish missing is from normal honest period wear. The throat is retained by a single unturned reverse screw. The dagger fits perfect into the scabbard, and as all original TENO's do, the scabbard number matches the blade. This is an textbook example you will feel proud to own. Exc+/Exc++

Go-13 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 reverse proudly displys the early Alcoso maker mark. The thin blue leather blade buffer is in place. Classic Alcoso fittings are all silver washed and that patina is very nice. The plating is excellent being 100% 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. The pommel screw may have been turned at some point but it's all patinaed so if it was it sure was a long time ago. All the patina matches. The undented silver plated scabbard is set off by well detailed bands. Plating is 99% with just a small wear spot on the tip. The throat is retained by two unturned screws. Overall this is a thing of beauty that wonderfully shows off hand fitted German craftsmanship! 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++

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.

PO-36 Early Alcoso Municipal Police Bayonet
Double marked nickel plated blade is a Exc++/NM example with the correct markings, to include the Alcoso scales mark to the obverse and the name written out in full to the reverse. As is often seen with these factory shortened examples the spine is also inspection stamped. No gray, sharpening, plating loss or damage etc. The heavy brass based hilt of this example is a beauty, showing only hints of plating loss from light wear about the beak. The reverse is stamped "S.Kö.I. 1762" matching the scabbard. The markings indicate issue to Scutzpolizei Polizeiverwaltung Köln. The stag grip plates are a nice 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 aluminum rivets. The grip insignia is a tight aluminum one with honest wear. Scabbard shell is in very good shape, being black with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges. 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. Finishing this piece is a frog, it looks to me to be from a K98 bayo and a beat portepee. Overall Exc++
PO-30 Early E. & F. Hörster Rural Police Bayonet

The grip insignia is a tight aluminum one with honest wear.Scabbard shell is in very good shape, being brown with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges.

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++
