THIRD REICH POLICE BAYONET BY CLEM & JUNG COMPLETE WITH FROG AND PORTAPEE.

Another nice complete piece. Again converted from an earlier Weimar police clamshell bayonet, showing all the tell-tale signs. Solid nickel eagle head pommel, with oak leaf decorated crossguard etc. Reverse of the crossguard is stamped with the original Weimar police issue details ‘S.Sch.I.791’ this is repeated on the back of the scabbard throat. These issue detail were never repeated on Third Reich era produced police bayonets, only on the converted Weimar pieces. Stag grip shows signs where the old Weimar badge was pinned and replaced by a Third Reich one. At the bottom of the grip is the extra ‘hole’ that also remains after the conversion. The aluminium police eagle is positioned a little lower than normal. There is an original dark brown police frog and an original leather police portapee tied around it. The blade on this bayonet is not mint, but still pretty good. It displays ‘spotting’ to the nickel surface in various places, but still looks good. A further clean would not doubt help. Scabbard leather is in good order, shows a bit of deformation where the internal retaining springs are pushing out, but no other damage.
