I've got quite a few knots I'm going to need help on identifying and valueing if you can, hopefully you guys can help me out. Your help is much appreciated. They will all be going into the for sale section after identification.

This one is heavily tarnished, this one is gold bullion with what looks like dark brown accents but truthfully the accent colour could have been just about anything.

I think this one is bavarian, it is silver bullion with blue stripes in the strap, I think the ball should have had a blue dot.

Your guess is as good as mine on this one, very tatty indeed, seems to be all silver bullion with brown strips in the strap and a brown end of the ball.

Gary,
#6 looks to be an Imperial/Weimar era Feuerwehr sword knot. That said, I've also seen them wrapped around the crossguards of Fire Officials' daggers. A very nice knot that's not often seen. I'd like to know what #14 is, looks very interesting.
