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.

1st

2nd
This one is all green in construction the strap is leather.

3rd
This one has a dark brown leather strap and dark brownleather basket weave slide.

4th
This one has a silver bullion strap with 2 green lines, the stem has green accents and the end of the ball is green felt.

5th

I think this one is Austrian, all silver Bullion with Red Insert.

6th

I think this one might be something to do with firemans, not sure on that though. Gold Bullion with 2 red stripes on strap with red insert.

7th
This one has a dark green leather strap and slide the ball and stem are tarnished silver with green accents, the end of the ball is green.

8th
This one is mainly green with a red stem, it also has the original tie and manufacturers tag.

9th

This one is a whopper, gold cloth strap with 3 dark brown lines with a stylised "K" in the stem.

10th
Another Austrian one I think, this one is gold bullion with red accents.

11th

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.

12th

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.

13th

This one has a green leather strap with 3 bullion lines, I think the ball was silver with a silver insert.

14th
This one has a narrow grey clth strap with 2 green lines, the crown and stem are white with black accents, the ball and insert are grey.

15th

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.

Do know only few for sure:
#1 is a hungariansaber portepee, you easily can see the �Stephan�s Crown�.
#8 is a german bayonet company troddel for staff of II comp time frame up to 45.
#9 is a saber portepee of the time of the last Austrian emperor Karl (you see the prominent �K�).
#10 is a saber portepee from Austria, either �Staendestaat� or 1st Republic.
#13 is a german saber portepee up to 45

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.

Thanks Billy, another one identified, #14 is a strange one for sure,

Cheers

Gary
