[Grade] E [Item #] D257 [Description] 
Polizei Dress Bayonet and Frog with Grip Emblem, no maker. This is a unique and rare piece fitted with a Polizei sword/dagger emblem attached to the obverse grip plate with 2 prongs. The emblem is the solid type, struck from copper with 50% of the silver plating still intact and all of the black enamel between the eagle and the wreath. The black bakelite grip plates are perfect with no damage and are attached with the correct solid rivets that show no signs of having been removed, proof that the emblem is original. The blade is plated with a mirror and some minor scratches, mostly runner marks with no signs of sharpening. The zinc alloy hilt retains 50% of a matte silver plating. It was probably polished when first constructed, but time and oxidation has reduced it to a dull gray. The original leather buffer pad and red slot wool is still intact, although there are a few moth holes in the wool. The scabbard is in outstanding condition with 97% of the gloss black enamel intact and no dents. The frog still retains all of it's original black finish, but it's cracked with multiple impressions from use.
