Title Fire Brigade side arm
Nationality German
Period c 1936
Sold

A somewhat scruffy example with a repainted scabbard. The blade is 9.75" long and maker marked 'L E' (for Linnenbrugger & Ellerman, Bielefeld, distributors of fire department equipment during WW2) with the Fire Brigade helmet logo. The zinc hilt fittings have perhaps 40% EPNS finish remaining.

Excellent information, Chris, you've been making a big effort! I will spell it out more closely (I'm a historian!) and don't think Bezdek can add much more.
