Title Bayonet knot (Troddel)
Nationality German
Period c 1933-45
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. This came recently from a tailor's shop in Germany. 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 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

My order arrived this morning, thanks for the prompt delivery.

Two excellent original pieces, I must say.

Buckle is in minty condition retaining so much detail esp plummage on eagle's neck and chest, like to see those 'creases' on the legs also... a beautiful example of an early O&C buckle.

Belt is very interesting, rather thin, CROUPON stamped and also behind the tongue...maybe Allegmeine but no SS markings as you state. Beautiful piece none the less.

Thanks for a speedy transaction Chris, I am very happy with my purchase :)
