Hello friends, I purchased this German Police Bayonet (and a Luftwaffe Dagger) from an estate sale recently. I am looking to see options on both pieces because I am not an expert. I mostly have US knives uniforms and medals and German militaria is fairly uncharted territory for me. Basically I took a chance on them and some German Badges/tinnies. Also looking to see if I did okay with my price. I will post the detailed bayonet pics in the appropriate place but will attach a single picture of it here at the bottom just for reference. I appreciate any input here. Thanks again

I almost forgot too, the blade is rusting a bit and the nickel is flaky, can I do anything to improve the blade and rust on this Bayonet?

I believe this is a genuine kyffhauser schirmmutze but it has some oddities. There are no markings to be found on this hat and the cap itself at the front is made from a different kind of fabric than the others I own in my collection. No markings, was that against regulations? Also, the sturmrieme is attached by sewing… Is this a so called late war example? I need to know what insignia to attach, so first I have to determine what era (pre/early/late-war) it dates from. My gues is late war but then.. it should have an eagle, correct? but so far no traces of an eagle on this hat… I know insignia one these caps were often mixed but it would seem a bit strange to put early style insignia on a (at the time) new cap. What insignia should I use? combination eagle/ heer style wreath or leave the kokarde and add an early kyfhauser wreath? please help me out.

thanks!

Thought you would like to see this nice issued Gold wound badge by Hauptman Wein.

Gilt tombak with less seen flat pin.

What really drew me to this award was that a) it is 100% issued and combat worn award still in excellent condition and b) The "bent" pin.

As this was from the recent find from our friend David (M16Fan), and thus there is no question that this modification was period done. The pin is not flimsy so it took some effort to do this.

Hope you enjoy this piece of history!

And with his friends…. (btw…a silver Legion Condor is in the mail and will replace what I think is the fake WW1 Gold award and the silver WW1 is a less common screwback version)
