Description
Here is your chance to pick up a nice example of a polizei officer’s sword. This piece is covered in patina giving this one a nice worn look. Manufactured by the firm Alcoso from Solingen and is maker marked on the reverse side of the blade. The blade is in almost perfect condition with minimal signs of wear from the sheath. Sheath looks like it might have been touched up, but the touch up job is very old. This piece comes directly from a veteran estate and its possible the veteran repainted the sheath himself. A gorgeous example regardless. On June 17th 1936, Reichsführer-SS Heinrich Himmler was appointed to the newly created position of Chef der Deutschen Polizei im Reichsministerium des Innern, (Chief of the German Police in the National Ministry of the Interior), effectively giving him full control of all police agencies within Germany including the Feuerschutzpolizei, (Fire Protection Police). As a result of this appointment and the restructuring of all the separate German state police into a single national police force new regulations were instituted to bring about uniformity in dress for all police through-out the country.
