FireMedals Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Gentlemen,My family recently found a collection of WWII souviners hidden in a closet by my late grandfather-in-law. While I could identify most things (nothing real earthshaking) there are two swords that I can't ID. There are similar looking pieces on this and other sites, but all are slightly different...gild vs. silver finish, some with different handle decoration, etc. It appears from my initial excursion into German WWII swords that pretty much everyone was allowed a sword of some kind!!!! I'm listing the photos of the two pieces in two different listings for clarity. We are not selling the items we found, but would like to identify them for the familiy members who will be getting them. I would appreciate any help the members can provide.Thanks,FireMedals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Dwyer Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 I know very, very little about German swords (except I like them!) but I believe that's a Third Reich police emblem on the grip, so I think this is some type of police officer's sword.
