Interesting speculation Grumpy. I doubt if we'll ever get all of this properly sorted out but someone converting a police sword to SS configuration? SS honor degens were awarded,at as far as I know at no cost to the officer, so what would have been the motivation to do a conversion?
I think it's fairly well accepted that Model 33 daggers were converted/upgraded to Model 36s as a cost saving measure. but I don't see any cost saving in converting a police sword to an SS honor degen during the 3rd Reich. Am I missing something here?
