This rare sword knot was carried by officers serving with General Vlasov's army, which the Germans raised in 1944 from Russian volunteers (former prisoners of war) to help them in their struggle against Communism. The colours are the old Imperial Russian colours. The acronym of this unit was POA. Details of this unit can be found in Andrew Mollo's book, 'German Uniforms of World War 2', and in other more recent publications on the Ostvolk Volunteer scenario. The condition is excellent for its age, but the colours of the cotton threads of the leather strap are somewhat dulled. |
