Mostly Saxon style knots. The ones with green and white colors and oval profiles were worn by NCOs and Beamte. The round ones by Officers and Beamte (depending upon rank). Foresters also wore knots of this color combination and style but the distinctive flat acorn shape is Saxon. I typically buy these around $45 each if that helps.
