Title Bullion Kriegsmarine sword/dirk knot
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is the first model knot for the Kriegsmarine sword and dirk, of silver bullion construction. Only commissioned officers could wear this, ie from midshipman up.Cadets and petty officers could not wear it. This tradition dated from the imperial era, when it had a red and black thread running through it.

The condition is good for its age, the bright finish being somewhat tarnished.Early Kriegsmarine knots are now a little hard to find.

Bayonet arrived safe + sound this AM Sat. Special delivery excellent again. Worth the few extra bob. To be honest it was better than I dared hope. I usually avoid polished bits like the plague!! Your price was a bit fierce!! - but a great marking I lacked... Please email me anytime you have anything that might be of interest.
