Very interesting sidearm George. It does look quite similar to the unusual Baden Polizei bayonet which has always been of interest to me. I have a WKC example with 17” blade but was quite tweaked after seeing your gilt example.

Just thinking that if this piece were a government issued piece that they might have opted for something cheaper than stag but that’s just supposition. Of course it could be private purchase too. I’m certainly curious if anyone is able to find a catalogue reference to this item.
