WW2 German Police Bayonet With Scabbard Maker Alexander Coppel Matching Numbers

The WW2 German Police Bayonet with Scabbard, manufactured by Alexander Coppel, is a standard edged weapon issued to police personnel during the Third Reich period. This example features matching serial numbers on both the bayonet and its accompanying metal scabbard, indicating that the pieces are original to one another. The bayonet displays the characteristic design features of German police sidearms, including a nickel-plated hilt, stag horn grip plates secured by rivets, and the police eagle emblem set into one side of the grip. The blade is equipped with the Alexander Coppel maker’s mark, denoting production in Solingen, a major center for edged weapon manufacturing in Germany. The scabbard is of black-finished steel, showing signs consistent with use and age. Items such as this were typically carried for ceremonial duties or as part of a police uniform between 1936 and 1945. This bayonet is a representative artifact from law enforcement units in wartime Germany.
