Hewer of an NCO of the German Red Cross (DRK), Model 1938 Stamp – Ges. Gesch.. (Lot: 1282)
$ 895 fee: 22.5%A regulation edged weapon for NCO personnel of the DRK (Deutsches Rotes Kreuz) organization, distinguished by its characteristic blade featuring a saw back and a specially shaped combat point. These design features rendered the hanger a functional tool suitable not only for ceremonial wear but also for practical field applications.
The item bears the marking “Ges. Gesch.” — an abbreviation of the German “Gesetzlich Geschützt” (“Protected by Law”), indicating patent protection of the item or its components within German territory. This marking was widely applied to Third Reich edged weapons, predominantly on daggers and dirks of party and paramilitary organizations, denoting patented design solutions for hilts, scabbards, or decorative elements. The presence of the original marking attests to the item’s authenticity and its manufacture during the period when German patent legislation was in effect, constituting an important attribution criterion for collectors.
The hanger was introduced following the reorganization of the German Red Cross in 1937 and its integration into the state structure of the Third Reich under the control of the Ministry of the Interior. The adoption of this pattern in 1938 was reflected in the National Socialist symbolism of its design, characteristic of all organizations incorporated into the party-state hierarchy of that period.

POLICE BAYONET Third Reich period emblem, upgraded from the Weimar-era design. [Carl Eickhorn]. (Matching numbers) (Lot: 1281)
$ 1,095 fee: 22.5%A police bayonet of the Weimar period, subsequently modified in accordance with Third Reich standards, representing a characteristic example of the unification measures implemented within German police structures after 1933. The blade bears the trademark of the renowned Solingen firm Carl Eickhorn — the squirrel emblem that served as a guarantee of the highest quality from this manufacturer.
Structurally, the bayonet retains evidence of its Weimar origins: the originally longer blade was shortened, with the point reground to conform to the new standard. The grip was similarly reduced in length. The Weimar-era escutcheon was replaced with a new police emblem — an eagle with swastika within an oak wreath, characteristic of the Third Reich police service. The leather scabbard has likewise been adjusted to accommodate the reduced blade length. Matching numbers are preserved on both blade and scabbard — identical serial designations confirming their factory pairing.
Police bayonets constituted a distinctive type of edged weapon issued to German police forces during the Weimar Republic and Third Reich periods. Police bayonets differed structurally from military patterns in blade configuration and the characteristic grip treatment featuring the police emblem. Weapons of this type were employed primarily for parade and ceremonial purposes, as well as during guard duty. The modification of Weimar-era bayonets was conducted on a large scale as part of the standardisation of police unit armaments, rendering this category of items relatively common among collectors of German police edged weapons. Many surviving examples display original Weimar-period police unit markings, frequently accompanied by later numbers and stamps added following modification during re-inventory or reissue to different units.
The Carl Eickhorn company was established in Solingen in 1865 and became one of the largest manufacturers of edged weapons in Germany. The trademark squirrel emblem (Eichhörnchen) served as a guarantee of the highest quality. During the Third Reich period, the firm produced an extensive range of regulation edged weapons: daggers for all branches of service, SA, SS, NPEA, NSFK, and TeNo daggers, as well as dress daggers, sabres, and swords. Carl Eickhorn products are distinguished by superior steel quality and meticulous finishing, and are highly prized by contemporary collectors.

Mauser rifle bayonet (1934-1945). 1935 – S/155G. [E.u.F Hörster]. Unsharpened blade. Matching numbers. (Lot: 1390)
Auction EndedThe S84/98 bayonet is one of the most recognizable symbols of the German soldier during the Second World War. Representing a further development of the earlier S84/98 model, it was adopted as the standard bayonet for the Mauser Karabiner 98k carbine and was mass-produced by the German arms industry. Due to its widespread use, this bayonet remained in service with the Wehrmacht throughout the Second World War and is today one of the most popular areas of German edged weapons collecting.
The S/155G marking on the present example indicates the manufacturer, the firm E.u.F Hörster of Solingen, one of Germany’s leading edged weapons manufacturers. The production year of 1935 corresponds to the early period of Wehrmacht rearmament, when mass production of the SG 84/98 model bayonets for Mauser K98k rifles commenced.
The E.u.F Hörster company was founded in Solingen in 1850. The firm specialized in the production of edged weapons and bayonets for the German army, supplying products during both the First and Second World Wars.
The blade of this example has never been sharpened, which is of particular value to collectors. Such condition indicates minimal combat use or warehouse storage of the item. The absence of resharpening marks preserves the original blade geometry, which substantially increases the collectible value of the specimen.
Matching serial numbers on the blade and scabbard confirm their original pairing from the time of manufacture. Such examples are encountered considerably less frequently due to combat losses and post-war reassembly, and therefore command higher collectible value.
Original bluing and frog. Very good condition.
