Title Bullion Kriegsmarine sword/dirk knot
Nationality German
Period c 1936-45
Sold

This is the first model knot for the Kriegsmarine sword and dirk, of silver bullion construction. Only commissioned officers could wear this, ie from midshipman up.Cadets and petty officers could not wear it. This tradition dated from the imperial era, when it had a red and black thread running through it.

The condition is good for its age, the bright finish being somewhat tarnished.Early Kriegsmarine knots are now a little hard to find.

...acquiring this bayonet has completely changed my way of thinking on collecting bayonets. I have become extremely fond of the bayonet... Thanking you once again for the very professional way in which you handled the money [going to the wrong account] problem.
