Fireman's Dress Bayonets
FI-35 Fire Official's Dress Axe with
Hangers
This example is a plated one. The head has the tradition al shape
with the cut outs to the business end and a claw to the back. It is
secured with a ornate button that is secured with a dome-head screw.
Running down from the head to the front and back are two escutcheon plates
each with a carry ring. The other fittings are matching in color and
patina to include the side plates and the bottom ball fitting. The grip
itself has a thick lacquer paint that shows minor wear to the sides. 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. A
wonderfully complete piece that is missing from most collections. Overall Exc++/NM

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

usual manner. Finishing this piece is the original frog and nice
portepee. Overall Exc++

free just showing light wear. The

scalloped edges and show light wear. They
are held by staples in the usual manner. Finally this comes with a dated
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++

PO-31 Ewald Cleff Municipal Police
Bayonet
Nickel plated blade is
factory shortened example, as 90% of these are. This one has the
inspection stamp on the spine and is stamped with the markers name spelled
out top the reverse, interesting to see this maker as this is the first
example of Cleff I've ever come across. The blade is a Exc ++ example.
There are a few odd scuffs but no abuse. No gray, sharpening, plating loss
or damage, just light normal wear. The early brass based hilt of this
example is in good shape with 98% of plating intact. The only loss being a
bit under the riccasso. The blade has a factory buffer in place. The
crossguard is precisely stamped "S.Op.IV.408" matching the scabbard. For
those of you who enjoy knowing the providence of these, the stamping
confirms issue to the Schutzpolizei unit Polizeiverwaltung Oppeln. The
stag grip plates are a nice brown horn. They show only light wear with no
chips or cracks. The edges have golden colour, as do the trimmed surfaces.
They are retained by two dressed aluminium rivets. The grip insignia is a
correctly pinned, not glued aluminium one with normal wear. Scabbard shell
shows wear and evidence of old creases and overall is in good shape, being
black with the two trim lines which run the length of the edges. The
schell is fitted with undented solid nickel mounts. These have scalloped
edges and are in fine shape showing only minor period wear. They are held
by staples in the usual manner. All the scabbard stitches are intact.

nothing. Certainly NM. The

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.

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++
