Police Bayonet – Carl Eickhorn
Category:
€ 750,00
This Matching Police Bayonet – Eickhorn is a desirable example of an early piece that is seldom encountered.
It was made in the Weimar period, then updated in the 1930s: the blade was shortened to 13 inches, the “clam shell” on the crossguard was removed, and the Weimar-era grip eagle was replaced with the correct Nazi-era wreathed eagle and swastika Polizei emblem ( the emblem is placed a bit diagonally but is stuck in place well )
The reverse of the crossguard is stamped with “S.W. ( Wiesbaden district ) 1 .5” (first precinct, item 5)
The scabbard is leather-covered, with nickel fittings
The leather frog is also maker marked but hard to read and dated 1938
uncleaned but very good condition
Will only be shipped inside the EU !!
