SS POLICE NCO SWORD.

This is a very good example of an SS Police NCO sword, in 1936 the German police came under the control of Heinrich Himmler's SS and some member of the police were also members the SS. Silver plated hilt is in excellent condition, the underside is stamped with the SS acceptance stamp, SS runes in a box. The wooden grip is in perfect condition and it is inset with silver police eagle and swastika badge. The blade is in near mint condition and it is plain with out a makers name which is a characteristic of SS blades such as the SS chained dagger and the SS officers sword which also often do not have a makers name. The scabbard retains 95% original black paint and it is fitted with silver ornate top mount. This is a very long and impressive sword measuring approximately 104cm or 41inches long.

SS OFFICERS SWORD PORTEPEE KNOT.

Silver brocade strap with double black lines to the borders with silver bullion acorn with the SS runes to the stem. The brocade strap shows some wear and several old period repairs, the acorn is in perfect condition and SS runes are very clear. It sounds a lot worse than it actually is and it would still look very nice on a sword and it is priced considerably less than a perfect example. This model knot was worn on the SS officers sword and also the SS NCO sword and even the police sword if the owner was also a member of the SS. [Condition: Exc+]

GERMAN NAVAL DAGGER WITH ISSUE STAMP TO BLADE.

This very interesting example started life as a 1928 model with flame ball pommel, in 1938 the dagger was up-dated with the new eagle pommel. Fine detail to the eagle and swastika pommel which still retains some gilt finish, the crossguard also still retains much gilt. Mint white grip. The blade is very interesting, it is a plain blade but it is stamped with a Reich marine issue stamp as used in the 1920's and early 1930's, the mark is an anchor and the letter M, the blade is in near mint condition. The matching scabbard also retains much original gilt finish, it is also an interesting example as the bands are the rope type which are seen only on early daggers from this period, latter scabbards will feature the oakleaf style. A very nice and difficult to find naval dagger variation missing from most collections. Exc++ or better
