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

The standard knot for WW2, the blue/red colours indicating 8th Company, 2nd Battalion. The grey strap and ball indicate 'teeth' companies in an infantry regiment. It was worn on both dress and combat bayonets pre-war and in the early war years.

The condition is exellent, ex-German tailor's shop, with perhaps a little fading on the red stalk.

testimonials

[From a vendor, rather than a buyer]

I'm delighted that you are happy with the badge and I hope you can sell it to someone who will value owning it.

I tried to sell it on eBay but they won't accept Nazi items. I then contacted several dealers via a Google search who mostly offered me £40-£50 after some haggling. Most of the other dealers tried to conceal its true value in their replies and also lacked manners which doesn't inspire confidence.

Ultimately it's about trust. I should think that most prospective sellers have done their own research and therefore know roughly what their item is worth. You were the only dealer who had the integrity to concede that my valuation was approximately correct and I respect your comment that you can't offer this as you need to make a profit. Your honest approach is greatly appreciated and I felt comfortable taking the risk in sending it to you.

Thank you for a smooth transaction

The belt buckle arrived this morning. I'm delighted with it. I've been after one for years.
