![]() FI-29 Short Fireman's Dress Bayonet by HK Blade- is a nice plated example with some light scuffs on one side that you can see if you turn the blade just so in the light. You can call it sharpening but the blade's not sharp! Nice and bright. Buffer is intact Exc+ Scabbard is a nice example with no dents and say about 98%+ of factory paint intact. Grip plates are nicely fit without any damage and secured with nickel rivets. No cracks or chips anywhere. There's a few dots of plating lifting but really no problems on this, certainly 99%+. Overall Exc++ $185 ![]() 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++ $130 ![]() 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 $385 ![]() CU-8 Clement &Jung Land Customs Really a touch dagger to find in good shape. As was their custom C&J double marked their blades with their shield to the obverse and their name to the reverse. The blade shows some minor age and light cleaning. Rates Exc++. This dagger employs the textbook aluminum fittings with upswept Customs eagle wings. There is just the very lightest of wear and absolutely no oxidizing. The unique hand enhanced Customs pommel is matching in patina and wear. These fittings are set off by a grip that is correctly wire wrapped with a double thin twisted brass wire that C&J used later in the period. The unique Customs ferule has the right leaf pattern. 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 fittings are all secured with headless screws. The throat is integral to the upper fitting as we see on 90% of these. There's a few specks of age to the upper fitting that you can clean off if you so wish. All the fitting are damage free. These daggers are all late period, keep in mind that there were never even adopted till 1937. Finally look at the leather on this dagger and this in my opinion it the best feature of this dagger. You rarely find original leather in this kind of shape any more. Exc++/NM $2795 TE-19 Teno Leader by Eickhorn Rare dagger! Here's a nice example fresh in from an advanced Ohio collector. This one is a textbook example and exactly as it should be. The blade is a good example with very good crossgrain, no pitting, sharpening and the original needle-like tip is perfect. The maker mark is darkly etched in place just below the TENO eagle. Reverse is lightly etched with the number "3048". The number is very light and it was difficult to picture but it's absolutely there and in the correct size and font. The blade has a bit of spotting and certainly rates. Exc++. The brown-leather blade buffer is in place. The crossguard has a bit of lifting and is certainly better than 98%. Best of all most of the factory burnish remains. The trylon grip is perfect and just one tone lighter under the original portepee that's been there forever! The pommel is correctly burnished and has just a couple dots of plating lifting. The scabbard is straight and true with nicely detailed bands. The throat is fairly thick and is stamped matching the blade as it should be. It is retained by a single reverse screw. Finally finishing this example is a beauty portepee with no frays. Textbook example you will be pleasantly surprised with! Exc++ $6950 Certainly one of the nicest TENO hewers I've had the pleasure to own. Bright blade has a deep matte black etched maker mark and TENO eagle. The blade is very clean with just a few hints of age. 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 4 digit etched number under the crossguard eagle of course matches the number on the scabbard throat. Mint-! Undented scabbard body retains 99% of the glossy enamel paint with just the lightest surface crazing. Brushed plated fittings are in good shape with a couple small hits to the lower edges that I have shown. 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 100% intact with no lifting!! Look around and you will see how rare it is to find an example with good plating. Really nice detailed crossguard. 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 Eickhorn logo. Pls don't do it, I just mention for interest sake. Overall rates NM $4520 Layaway(mw) ![]() Go-4 Eickhorn Government Official About 1 in 4 or 5 Government Official daggers were produced by the Eickhorn firm. These are highly prized by collectors. Unlike Puma and Pack who are even rarer, Eickhorn cast their own components. Most consider these to be superior in quality to the Alcoso offering. The blade has been cleaned along the way and most of the crossgrain has gone to time. The result is still a very nice mid-period Eickhorn blade with the correct etched maker mark. Perfect tip, this rates Exc+/Exc++ with factory royal purple buffer. The distinctive Eickhorn fittings are all silver washed and have matching patina. Look how the crossguard wing tips flare upwards, certainly more elegant than their Alcoso competitor! The heavy silver plating is excellent being 99% intact. This thing is perfectly fit together. The flawless mother of pearl grip plates are crack and chip-free. The silver plated scabbard is set off by well detailed oak-leaf bands. This shows fine plating and finishing. The throat is retained by two unturned headless screws. Finally included with this is an original desirable GO portepee. It's about ½ the size of a std portepee. An incredibly rare accoutrement. Rates Exc+/Exc++ $7700 ![]() Go-14 Alcoso Government Official I just can't stop buying these things!!! The polished maker marked blade is an Exc+/Exc++ example with good crossgrain. There are a few light fingerprint stains but that's it perfect tip and the desirable early Alcoso maker mark. The thin blue blade buffer is in place. Classic Alcoso fittings are all silver washed and that patina is nice and black. The plating is excellent being 100% intact. If this has been apart it's not been for a very long time. This thing is perfectly fit together unlike so many that have been taken apart 10 times by every collector most of which do not have the right tools. The elegant mother of pearl grip plates are crack and chip-free. The silver plated scabbard is set off by well detailed bands. Plating is 100%. There is a tiny bruise 1" up from the scabbard tip reverse. You can feel it with your fingers. The throat is retained by two unturned screws. Overall this is a textbook beauty that wonderfully shows off hand fitted German craftsmanship! Rates Exc++ $6300

![]() POL-12 Early Alcoso Rural Police Bayonet Double marked nickel plated blade is a Exc++ example with the correct markings, to include the Alcoso scales mark (ACS) 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 grey, 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 "L.Mg.180." matching the scabbard. The markings indicate issue to Landjägerei Polizeiverwaltung Magdeburg. The stag grip plates are a nice brown horn. They show light wear with a crack to the reverse. 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 good shape, being brown with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges. The obverse has a fold mark to the lower. The stitching is intact. 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 |
