Thanks Billy, great to see those two Hollers and the Cleff & Pack examples. The etched example is very interesting. As is the differences we can see with the crossguards and hilt lock button.

Yes, the slotted hilt does throw a difference in there but there are enough similarities when held side by side, particularly small things, that fill in the picture. Not that I had any doubts about either one, just that rhe etched example was supremely scrutinized by myself but the quality of the etch, even on the spine, was a large help.
Both examples show the wide-winged style grip emblem, as you'd expect with a 3R produced bayonet. I don't like the aluminum ones as much because the quality generally dropped somewhat but there are so many variants that I'm always looking to pick up others.

A page from my TR era WKC sales catalogue.
The 25cm blade model was priced at 9.50 RM and the 33 cm blade model at 11 RM. Interestingly the SA dagger was at the bargain price of 7.05 RM
If you look closely at the two Police models it's clear few of any parts are interchangeable between the 25cm and 22cm blade models.

Well you have a couple of Weimar era made Polizei side arms, updated during the Third Reich (probably 1936), blade shortened TR badge added.
It's difficult to see the markings from those photos, but based on what you write they represent; Schutzpolizei (Municipal), Westpreussen, Police Duty location III & I, weapon numbers; 7 and 157
Is this odd? Not really as Police districts would have issued hundreds of side arms. A coincidence probably, but close up of marking will confirm if authentic.
