Title Staff troddel/bayonet knot, 1936 pattern
Nationality German
Period c 1940
Sold

The green knots were only worn by battalion headquarter staff of the German regiments, with varying colours to indicate which battalion. The green and red indicates the 14th company of the 4th battalion, a training company attached to the staff. Solid green (ie without red), perhaps the rarest, was worn by regimental headquarter personnel.

This is relatively rare compared to the standard with pale grey strap and grey base.

The condition is excellent, ex-tailor's shop, a recent find in Germany.

Just a short note to let you know that I have collected the Police fur cap this morning from the Post Office. I am really happy with it, and for sure I will give a thumbs-up to your service. This was the first item I ever bought from you, and I hope it will not be the last.
