A MINT AND RARE EXAMPLE OF A POLICE OFFICERS SWORD BY HERM RATH- SS MARKED.

This is a beautiful example of a police officers parade degen in mint condition. The nicle plated D guard and ferrel are in 'as new' condition. The black ebony grip has perfect grip wire and no damage to the wood at all. The large Police eagle deeply set into the middle of the grip has lost the original flash coating of silver, revealing the copper colour beneath. There is an original Police leather portapee tied in the correct manner around the grip and D guard. The scabbard is faultless with perfect original factory black paint. No damage whatsoever.
The Degen blade is in mint condition with all original polish and finish. The riccasso is stamped with the Herm Rath name, and the SS runes as stamped on all of their swords.
Only a couple of makers do this. The more commonly found one by WKC and this maker.
The Police were eventually under the direct control of the SS and many sword makers made both Police and SS swords, so there was some ‘sharing’ of parts. A beautiful sword ghst souks not be possible to upgrade very easily!!!
