John,

I've seen these before, albeit only occasionally. They seem to have a Fireman pommel & standard KS98 crossguard, I believe the few I've observed were all Eickhorn with the '35-'41 mark like this one. But that this one shows a sawback blade makes it something special indeed.

My feeling is this style has some sort of Gov't or Police connection but that's simply speculation. Haven't ever seen a regulation that would document the style either, but it's super cool!
