About how much...

[Chris N]

Is a Police dagger worth? Ive noticed the LYLE antiques sell them for about $260-300 U.S. Now I have a store close to my town that has one of the daggers for $160 Can.
Should I be going for it?
or be like the average tourist in Mexico... and tell them to go down some $$

Chris - That is a great price but why not try to get a little off anyway, all they can say is "No" and you still got it at a bargain.

Hey Chris,
Why would you tempt fate? It already is a great deal, why don't you just buy it and be happy. I would not think of asking for a price reduction if it is at half price already.
Just one man's opinion, Terry

Chris:

I agree with Terry.
If the dagger is in nice condition...pay the man what he wants.
Thats a great price.

Well...

Could someone tell me of what to look for on a Polizei dagger?
Or maybe a picture... just to compare the two to see if this dagger is real or not.

Chris,

Are you refering to a police bayonet? There is no actual police dagger. If the piece in question is a dagger, can you describe it or post a photo?

If it is a bayonet, what kind of scabbard - leather or metal?

Are the grip plates made out of stag horn?

Is there a slot in the top of the hilt?

If the scabbard is leather, is it black or brown?

Waht kind of ciondition is the piece in?

Answers to these questions will help tremendously with establishing a value.
