THIRD REICH SHORT MODEL SENIOR NCO POLICE BAYONET BY EICKHORN.

This police bayonet was actually produced during the Third Reich which is unusual as most police bayonets are re-issued Weimar bayonets. This rare senior NCO bayonets has slightly smaller fittings than the standard enlisted mans police bayonet. Superb quality solid eagles head hilt, the detail is really impressive. Fine quality stag horn grip plates complete with police eagle and swastika insignia to the obverse side. The blade is in mint condition and the reverse side is stamped with the 1835 / 41 Eickhorn trade mark. Black leather scabbard complete with two matching silver mounts, there is one small crease to the lower part of the leather scabbard. These short model police bayonets are very hard to find and this one is especially desirable as it is by Eickhorn. The last photograph is for a size comparison with a standard police bayonet it is not included in the price. Exc++
