Recent Fire Police Find
These three recently came out of a garage in a house down the street from me and I was wondering if anyone had ever seen a fire police portepee like this? Its put through the frog? What is the significance of the yellow cording? And the yellow string around the handle, was that for the manufacturer tag? Thanks ABN
The portapee doesn't belong on a Fire faschinenmesser. Not sure what it is. The S 84/98 bayonet looks tidy, you may like to create a thread for that one as well. Could be a post war refurbish, but nice to have a look. The NSFK dagger deserves a new thread as well.
S84/98 looks ok to me appart from wrongly added into scabbard, the brown scabbard could be LW type.
The scabbard is black not brown. The frog is brown? What precludes the bayonet from a brown frog?
The DLV has been posted and has definitely caused some debate.
Im quite sure thats what Andy meant and may have been miswording on his part...but the frog is brown and yes the scabbard is black. A brown frog would denote Luftwaffe ..but let the Bayo guys further comment.by Airbornehunter

I talked about the first combat bayonet not about the Fireworker Sidearms on lowest position. Any pictures avialable? the S84/98 bayonet is blued and not blackened as is the dress one sidearm.
It appears that the knot on the fire bayonet might be the correct one for a short model however someone has wrapped some sort of cord around the strap. If you can show a closer picture of the knot and strap, we can probably tell.
I have a feeling the dot on the bottom of the bulb will have red inside, but it's possible it's an old Preußen knot too. The color thread and cat's anus would tell the tale.
Hello,
the knot thing is easy to figure out. Fire brigade or police Portpee both have special eyes. A picture of that would clarify.
Regards
