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.

It got here this morning, presumably delayed by the holidays. It is perfect, indeed better than I was expecting.

I am more and more pleased with the sword, and am wondering whether to do an article on it...
