That's another very nice acquisition Andy. And a good reference example for us of a late Third Reich Polizei Seitengewehr. These are faked using deconstructed KS98's but this is authentic. We see the slightly longer (than a Ks98) 13 inch blade. As you point out, the smaller rivets and the trademark is the expected 1941-42 version.
The very nice frog is rural Police, the black scabbard suggests municipal. But I'm not sure if by 1942 they were still making brown leather scabbards. So still could be correct. Most likely a private purchase sidearm and the frog is correct. The eagle insignia for a late example we probably would expect not to have the hollow background. So the emblem may be a replacement?

Lovely one!
Anderson might has a point there regarding the Gripeagle, not a textbook one there.

It's a good piece. I don't think the emblem is a cause of concern. There was a type seen in late production that was not hollowed out. But if this one on your bayonet is well secured by two pins, and no sign of disturbance of rivets and grip plates, I think we can except it as "original" as I don't think anyone can definitively date when or if the later type fully replaced the earlier type.
As an example only the photo here shows the difference.

Hi Anderson,
That's very reassuring thanks for your input I have seen the solid type eagle before but I think it was on a sword.
Regards, Andy.

Grofaz,
I think this is a very nice example of a late production private purchase Polizei bayonet. The over the shoulder mark is fairly uncommon to encounter. The ones I've seen, including the one in my collection, all seem to have nice knobby stag as opposed to some other manufacturers from the same period.
The grip emblem, known as the "wide-winged" variety, was used prewar to late in the period & would not be a concern for me. It is well detailed & appears to be affixed properly.
The solid shield-type was also used quite late but is generally only seen on certain maker bayonets, including CJ Krebs & Clemen & Jung. They appear more often because Tom Johnson has sold them for years & people have used some to tart up denazified examples.

Hallo,
yes this is original Walking Out / Dress Bayonet of the police in the TR. The frog is also a walking out version.
