UBB.threads Forums Edged Weapons Edged Weapons Accoutrements Forum need help for portepees

Dear mates,

I have bought two navy daggers with the portepees attached.The problem is that I�m not sure if these porteppes are original, due to they haven�t so called �cat�s anus.�
As you can see from the picture one of the portepee looks like never has been apart from the dagger. Other one portepee has gold color, but also hasn�t the expected �cat�s anus�
What do I have actually?

Are they krigsmarine or just they are army's portepees please?t

Pesho, the 'cat's anus' refers to the cinched opening, which they all have.

I think he is referring to the dot in the bottom. Your center example has the most normally accepted Navy dot. I've seen Vet acquired examples with the Heer type dot but despite that collectors want to see the cats anus type dot.
As far as the portepee on the right it appears to me to be the nylon type that is late war. we see these on late war Army daggers. Hope that helps some.

Aaahh yes, had to have 'blackie' walk by to notice that!

Sorry for the late respond but for a couple of weeks I was traveled into the country �hunting� for some new items for my collection and I had limited computers access.
Fortunately I came home with big trophies � 2 Bulgarian royal swords, 1 Bulgarian royal Army dagger , 1 Brannik knife with unusual grip emblem, 1 SS grip and 3 post war full set uniforms and some others small items. All these I�ll post late for discussion in the relevant topics.
Likesidetrader and "Kursk" thanks your comments. My question actually was in connection with the dot in the bottom. I have always thought that the nylon type with gold color is late war Navy portepee.
