Description
Stamped Knight’s helmet over WKC TM. Nickel-plated hilt fittings show surface wear/age patina, some plate lifting to the well-detailed eagle head pommel without pommel slot and oak leaf embellished crossguard. The reverse crossguard is without markings as they were apparently ground off at the time the clamshell was removed and blade shortened after the SS assumed control of the Police in June 1936. Medium brown stag horn grip plates show light surface wear/age toning, one small chip on obverse plate, and the Third Reich Police grip emblem properly pinned to the obverse plate. Plated blade measuring 32.8cm in length grades EX+ with light runner marks/surface wear, minor gray speckling, and a few tiny “plate lifting” spots on the spine and cutting edge, but no damage to blade tip. Complete with brown leather buffer pad. Black leather scabbard shows light surface wear/scuffs, ripples in the black leather, but no rips or tears, and no damage to the reverse stitching. Nickel-plated scabbard fittings show surface wear with plate lifting/scratches on both the upper and lower fitting, but no damage to the lower ball. The upper and lower fitting is complete with the retaining staple. Black leather, triple-stitched, 4-rivet frog grades EX++ showing normal wear/age, no loss of color or rips/tears, and no damage to stitching.
