Municipal “Cut-Down” - Seitengewehr für Polizei by Alcoso. The plated blade on this one looks great! It retains a nice and bright mirror like finish along with a perfect fit and sharp factory “Cut-Down” tip. The blade is proof stamped to the spine and rates a solid Exc++. A few odd scratches. The black (Municipal) leather scabbard body looks good, it could use a coat of black shoe polish. The stitching is 100% intact. There's four vertical lines running through it giving it that finishing touch of German detail. The nickel-silver based plated dent-free scalloped scabbard fittings remain in excellent condition, matching the hilt in color and patina. The staples, frog lug and throat retaining screw remain intact. The solid nickel hilt depicts wonderful detail throughout, with the oak leaves, acorns and highly detailed pommel eagle. The only plating loss I see is to the eagle beak. The reverse is unnumbered matching the scabbard! The multi-toned stag grip plates are tightly secured with two aluminum rivets. The centrally placed first pattern aluminum police eagle is properly pined and retains nice detail. Nicely finishing this is an unmarked black Police frog with a police green wool backing. Nice example
