Ted,
Interesting looking trio in a beautiful display, thanks for sharing it with us. Love the knot on the 1st model Bahnschutz but all the knots are super.
The sword is indeed an Imperial/Weimar era German Railway sword. Note the winged train wheel on the scabbard fitting & clamshell, the traditional symbol of the railways.

What a great trio and the sign in the background brings out the realism. Very nice.

That is a stunning set of daggers!!!!
I hope this is not a totally stupid question, but what is the middle dagger? The Heer style guard would indicate a Railway Water Protection Police dagger, but should it not have the Heer style scabbard shell as well? I have not seen this configuration before.

That is the correct scabbard for the Railway Water Protection dagger.

Sorry JohnZ, this is NOT the correct scabbard for a RRWPP (RR dagger with army crossguard) dagger which would have an army style body and the RRPP style scabbard bands.
To be seen in the period EICKHORN list.
I have noticed the dagger in question already after starting of the thread but did not have enough time to contribute until now.

Sorry, guys, I was totally focused on the scabbard bands instead of the scabbard itself.
The scabbard should be an army type, while the scabbard bands should be the railway type.
My bad.
Mea culpa.
