Polizeiführersword , opinions please ?

[Michael Kuligowski]

Hi Mike, this is the SS 'Kulturzeichen'. It was used on dagger chains, swords, Yule candlesticks, etc. It was to show that the item was accepted by the SS as being of approved design and quaility.

Hope this helps?

Cheers, Ade.

Michael, On German Police swords the SS-Kulturzeichen is seen on perhaps 50% of them (more or less). There was some earlier thought in the collecting community that the marking was the “hallmark” of Karl Diebitsch, but no period German evidence to support that assumption. As mentioned the marking, besides edged weapons, is seen on ceramics and posted below is a thread from another forum illustrating some of what can be seen. FP
