You have a there a fairly interesting and rare Police bayonet, made by Paul Weyersburg Company (PAWECO) probably in the late Weimar republic/ early Nazi period. Some of these that turn up don't have the Nazi Police badge. This one may have had the badge added after 1933 and was then obsolete by 1936. This one also has the imitation button on the hilt as well. Not a lot are known about this type, it's possible if was only used in a certain region. A nice find, thanks for showing it to us.

Thank you for the additional info. We thought it might be an unusual piece, as I have not found much about it on the web searches I have done. Can anyone venture a value? Ballpark? Thanks!

You might want to send a PM to the member who identified this item. He is very good with this type item. Forum frowns upon giving monetary appraisals
