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.

My husband LOVED his North Africa escape map - I had it professionally framed - it's beautiful.

Having received the beautiful medal that has been the subject of many recent phone calls, I am absolutely delighted with it. More importantly, the research you provided into the military backgrounds of all those involved made it all the more poignant. Thank you for your highly professional and friendly help and advice throughout the transaction.
