Hi, need an opinion on this SS knot please, the "Degen" is OK, but the knot is out of my knowledge. Thank you

Your knot appears to be the correct one for an EM/NCO SS sword. I would like to see a side view.

Now that I've had a cup of coffee I took a second look at this and really don't like the runes.

Sorry, but the knot is a reproduction. The runes are crude and touch one another. The material on which they are embroidered is too heavily ribbed. These have been around several years now. I am attaching a scan of a genuine knot for comparison. Wish I could be the bearer of good news.

Thanks for the verification Grumpy. In the future I'll make sure I've had my coffee and put on my glasses before posting!!  Jim

Grumpy nearly said it all. I would like to add that this fake (shown by Stra�burger) obviously is artificially aged to let it look more convincing. Nevertheless a fake..
