Title Army bayonet knot (troddel)
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
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. 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 (ex-German tailor's shop) with minor age stains here and there, but no real damage as such, viz the fact that it even has its original cotton tie.

If you want to comment on this item—re quality, age, etc—please email me.

testimonials

The 3 medals have just arrived safely - very interesting. (From your description I was expecting ribbon to be dreadful; personally, I think that the "Russian Front" is beautifully 'aged'.)

I am just dropping your company a line to say thank you for the 2nd WW Iron Cross, that my brother has purchased off your site Thursday evening. We received it 1st class today and it is in excellent condition. Many thanks again.
