[Grade] NM- [Item #] DC270 [Description] 
Early (pre 1935) Polizei Officer's Dress Dagger and Frog by Carl Eickhorn of Solingen. The twin large oval stamped trade mark on this piece tells us it was manufactured pre 1935, and that it is a true Nazi era Polizei dress dagger rather than an Imperial model that was cut down. This beauty is complete with it's original leather scabbard and WWII period maker marked (illegible) frog, as well as matching serial numbers "S.B.16663." on the hilt and scabbard. The polished plating on the blade is still bright with no major damage other than multiple faint surface scratches. The spine is stamped with a small "*" over a "B" , but this stamp isn't pictured with my photos. The stag grips are in excellent condition with no damage or cracks, but the nickel Polizei emblem shows some wear with only 25% of the gold wash intact in the crevases. The hilt appears to be plated brass with some minor wear to the quillion, a few feathers on the eagle's neck, and the end of his beak. If you look closely at my photos you'll see remnants of a polishing compound in his feathers so we know this piece has been cleaned, but no damage was done.
