A wide fuller runs the majority of the length of the top edge of each side of the blade. The ricasso features a double maker’s mark, with the reverse reading “E. \u0026amp; F. HÖRSTER, SOLINGEN”, while the obverse bears Hörster’s classic monogram logo. The blade sits securely within a multi-piece nickel-plated alloy hilt, with an intact leather buffer pad covering the seam. A hooked quillon is stamped with a unit mark of “L.D. 2.”, while a stylized pommel in the form of a double-sided eagle’s head has a hooked beak to facilitate a comfortable grip. Two pieces of polished staghorn compose the handle, and are fastened in place with aluminum rivets. Inset into the obverse of the handle is a silvered Ordnungspolizei insignia in the form of an oval oak leaf wreath, overlaid by a German national eagle clutching a wreathed mobile swastika, measuring 20 mm (w) x 22 mm (h). Accompanying the bayonet is its original scabbard, constructed of a brown leather shaft, indicating issue to Gendarmerie (rural police). Nickel-plated non-magnetic metal fixtures are riveted to both the tip and throat, with a downward-pointing hook emanating from the latter for the accommodation of a frog. A matching unit mark of “L.D.2.” is also stamped onto the throat, indicating a matching set. Minor issues consistent with age and wear are evident, and include some running marks to the blade, softening of nickel finish to the plated fixtures, and minor fatigue of the scabbard leather. A high-quality example in extremely fine condition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48632681431317,"sku":"G58374","price":646.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/MNC0022_8ac37de1-90fb-4508-8e88-72f6371062bb.jpg?v=1731085373"},{"product_id":"germany-wehrmacht-a-pair-of-dress-bayonets-g58658","title":"Germany, Wehrmacht.

It features a 20 cm-long, nickel-plated, magnetic steel blade which retains some factory original sharpening to the tip and lower edge. A narrow fuller runs the majority of the upper edge of each side. Fully unmarked, the blade sits securely within a nickel-plated non-magnetic metal alloy hilt with a hooked quillon and pommel. A hollow insertion slot set into the pommel retains an original red wool insert and functional push-button spring release. Two pieces of pebbled black bakelite compose the handle grip, and are fastened in place with dual magnetic metal rivets. Accompanying the bayonet is its original scabbard, constructed of a black painted magnetic metal shaft. A downward-pointing hook emanates from the side of the shaft for the accommodation of a frog. The former is included and is constructed of multiple panels of blackened leather, stitched into a loop for belt suspension. A functional spring catch situated within the throat firmly holds the bayonet in place during storage. Issues consistent with age and wear are evident, and include some running marks and loss of nickel plating to the blade (the latter resulting in minor surface oxidation), the loss of the buffer pad, moderate loss of nickel plating and paint to the hilt and scabbard, and some fatigue of the frog.
