Does anybody know what type of knot this is and for what edged weapon it was supposed to be on. Sorry about the quality of the pictures.
Cheers

Looks like a Preussen bayonet or sword knot. Early SS knots looked the same but with a black insert in the cat's anus.

Hi Gary
Possibly a Justice Official variant. Pic of one recently offered by Weitze, also pics of another variant I have.

Thanks for both opinions, it's not a portepees that I had come across before, it certainly looks the same as the one Weitze offered, it looks as though both of them have there original tie as well, perhaps a few turned up though I haven't seen another apart from these two.
Cheers

I used to own a knot exactly like this years ago. It was a total impulse/younger collector/naive purchase off EBan. Do you notice how it has that "made yesterday" look? Well, that's because it was. I showed it to a fellow collector/retired dealer friend of mine and he gave me the bad news.

Total reproduction piece here. It sure is pretty, but alas it has no place on a 3rd Reich edged weapon. Sorry for the bad news/opinion. As always other opinions are certainly appreciated but I'm sure you'll get similar responses/opinions.

Best wishes,

Mat,i don't think you are correct.
Also Gary is the guy who knows what to buy and what doesn't
