SS Police Candidate NCO's Degen by WKC Solingen

This SS [Schutzstaffel] Police Candidate NCO's Degen is in EXC+ condition. Model 1936. The total length is 95.1 cm. The Degen has the maker mark on the blade: WKC Solingen.

Grip: This Police Officer's Degen shows traces of age on the "D" guard but the plating remains sound. The pommel cap has some lifting on the edge of the upper portion but the serrations remain crisp. The ferrule has the usual six standing oak leaves, with evidence of hand enhancement throughout the design. The ebony grip is in perfect condition, with good, tight nickel grip wire. The Police eagle grip insignia is a copper type and retains full detailing throughout.

Blade: The blade is 80 cm long with a standard matte finish. It remains in nearly mint condition and is marked with the Weyersberg WKC Solingen trademark. The original blade buffer is intact.

Scabbard: The scabbard is straight throughout and retains the original paint. The paint shows quite a bit of wear and is about 85% intact. One of the strange things about this degen is that while it is an Officer's example the scabbard has an NCO's chape. The upper mount is in the Wotan's Knot pattern, with most the the original blacking intact. It is retained by a pair of dome head screws, one in each of the lower loops. The throat is marked with an SS-Kulturzeichen stamping.
