Here is a WWII German Slotted Municipal Police Bayonet that is nickel plated.
The pommel is in the shape of the eagle head, looking to the viewer\'s left, and has good detail to the feathering decoration to the head. The mortice button works and there is a rifle slot with this. The cross guard is covered with overlapping, raised oak leaves on the obverse, and half of the reverse cross guard has the leaves.

There are no grip plates on either side.

The scabbard is a dark brown/black leather shell which is in surprisingly good condition. This leather is still supple, being sewn up the rear in the standard manner. It has the twin line decorations which run down the edges of both sides. The nickel scabbard mounts have the scalloped edges where they meet the leather,and they are retained by staples. There is no markings on the scabbard.

The thirteen inch blade reflects the cut down end, but the cut down was done quite nicely, and overall the blade is still nice and bright. This blade is also marked on the spine with some old arsenal stampings, plus the number \"2\". The blade has the wide, fuller construction which runs to the tip, which is also an easy way to tell when a police bayonet blade has been cut down. On blades that were made the original length that you are looking at, the fuller will stop well short of the tip. The obverse ricasso is stamped with the knighthead trademark, and on the opposite side, it has the full name and location of the producer: \"WEYERSBERG KIRSCHBAUM & CIE SOLINGEN.

I also listed the condition of item in the above box & please view all pictures.
