The Water Protection Police was the sole Police organization to wear a dagger. They patrolled the many inland waterways, rivers and coastal areas throughout Germany. Most of the personnel had naval experience. The dagger they wore was nearly identical to the standard 1st Model Naval dirk, however, the grip was covered with blue leather and usually (but not always) there was a gilded Police insignia pinned to the grip. The pommel remained the early rounded top variety. All other features were the same as the Naval - brass fittings and scabbard with double etched blade.
