Bahnschutz with variant crossguard

[cogwheel]

Although I have handled many Bahnschutz daggers I have never personally encountered one with this variation crossguard. Could be fake but it is unlikely that a reproduction is of a higher quality than the original.

It is original, I saw this kind before. I have to look for more information about it.

C'mon, show that beautiful maker mark

[cogwheel]

Ok, here it is.

[cogwheel]

Try again

[Billy G]

Yeah that's the ticket, thanks Cogwheel!

I found it, but my book is in german and I do not speak German, but it is still a great book to find more uncommon daggers.

Einfuhrungsjahr M. 1938
"Dolch fur hohere Beamte der Eisenbahn"

so if somebody can translate it for me I would appreciate it.

And can you post the picture of the whole dagger, please.

Thank you, Rajko

I believe that to be original. An early and scarce Horster with "hand enhanced"
crossguard. Rarely seen and a beauty! - Thanks for sharing.

Congrats Cogwheel !
