Title Army bayonet knot (troddel)
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This was carried on the bayonet frog of the Third Reich army and the colours denoted the company and the battalion within the regiment. Worn by ordinary soldiers, especially on the walking out bayonets, in the early years of the war, these knots were even worn on the combat bayonets in the field.

This is in exceptional condition (ex-German tailor's shop) with minor age stains here and there, but no real damage as such, viz the fact that it even has its original cotton tie.

testimonials

Just a brief note to confirm that the sabre has been delivered today. All is as it should be. I have to say I’m impressed with the ‘custom’ packaging, obviously essential in your line of business. I have made a very quick inspection of the sword & it fully lives up to your accurate description, very pleased with the purchase.
