German Police Parade Bayonet by E. & F. Horster, Solingen, 13 in. blade, 17.5 in. overall. Beautifully detailed pommel with stag horn grip attached by two rivets. Police insignia is attached to the center of the grip. Strangely, there is a tiny hole beneath this emblem and to its right, and a larger, filled in hole at the bottom of the grip. We suspect these were manufacturing errors and they remain quite indistinct in any event. The crossguard also still retains excellent detail, and is punch-stamped on the reverse: 'S.Me.I. 987.' The blade is in very good condition with very distinct maker's markings, some running marks and thinning of plating. Sold with the original leather-covered scabbard, the leather in excellent condition with the metal tip bearing typical surface wear. With a portepee, its leather strap a bit frayed. Overall very good.
