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

I'd just like to thank you for the SS Buckle, this has to be one of the best items I have yet and am very happy with it.

Hanger arrived safe and sound 11.30ish today. Very pleased, it's as expected. Your excellent pics make all the difference in terms of confident buying over the net. As a matter of interest, the frog, which as you said is very a/f, is, as you thought, 'spot on'. On closer inspection it is a mk.1 Naval Frog, designated 'for cutlasses'. Date seems around 1860ish give or take.

By the way, I think your site is very user friendly. Seems to work much better than many and up to date, a rarity!!!
