Can you help identify this item. It looks to be a Miniature German Police Bayonet. The blade total length is 8 3/4in and is razor sharp on one side. It has an aluminum German Police emblem on the handle. No other markings can be seen due to the rust/tarnish on it.

Story goes...I got this from a woman who obtained it from a rental house of hers. A friend of hers stayed there for about three yrs. He had a lot of stuff from his Father, who was in the British army, But her friend up and left out of state, and she doesn't know where he went, and he left everything behind. She had his stuff for over 6yrs and never heard anything from him. So she decided it was time to get rid of all his stuff and this bayonet was one of the items.

Any information on it would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Dan

Dan,
It appears to be a pretty well worn mini bayonet (sans scabbard) with an "after the fact" applied police emblem. Years ago I picked up a mini simulated stag grip bayo with a police eagle on the grip, but it was clearly post war. If such a period piece exists I would expect it to resemble one of those pictured below with a properly sized police logo.

Here are a couple shots of my "police mini". Notice which side of the handle they placed the emblem - crossguard should extend to the left as you look at it. Interesting, but not correct.

A little closer look. Notice too, the attempt to construct a frog.
