Peter Daniel Krebs, Solingen | RZM M7/92

On the 17 June 1936 Hermann Göring ceded control of the entire German Police Force and Fire Department to form Reichsfürer- Schutz Staffel.





Heinrich Himmler was Commander-in-Chief of the German Police.






 POLIZEI-UNTERFÜHRERDEGAN (Police Swords) were authorized for wear personally by Himmler and ownership required a certificate.






Each one was, upon being awarded, duly noted the officer in the SS Diensltersliste and became a part of the owner's service record along with his other awards and citations. Krebs "crab" trademark is nicely executed with a beautiful even grey burnishing to the depths of the logo.





The crab is a metaphor of the maker's last name.






Luftwaffe Dagger by Peter Daniel Krebs, Wehrmacht, SS-Verfugüngstruppe, Schutz Staffel, variations were determined by the rank/position of the wearer and consisted of the Officer’s sword, the Senior NCO’s sword, the SS-Officer Senior Candidates sword and the SS-Officer Junior Candidates sword.
