This is the most desirable of all the makers of police swords, as it has an SS runic proof on the blade. The blade is very nicely marked by the maker Herm.Rat/Solingen/.  Just above this is a SS proof mark. Hermann Rath, Waffenfabrik (Weapons factory) was one of only seventeen Solingen firms listed in the 1941 edition of the DRAB as manufacturers of edged weapons. This firm supplied officers’ and NCO swords to both the SS and the Police. This sword includes a correctly tied NCO knot of interwoven black, silver and red flat wire that is excellent, as is the silver bullion ball with a red, white and black eye. I believe this is un-upgradable.
