Denny,
Thanks for the additional pictures. It certainly does appear that there is more than one maker of these runic pommel nuts. The SS runes stamped on the blade are also an oddity. Why they did this, instead of using the boxed runes usually stamped on the throatpiece and guard, is still unknown to me. I know theories have been discussed ad nausiem but it seems to be a fact that they did use both runic stamps on police swords. No doubt WKC had a reason, but 'tis a mystery to me.
