Can anyone help me to make sense of the Wehrmacht side arm knots?
I want to get hold of a set suitable for use by a Heer officer so what colour(s) should I be looking for and does anyone have a source of repo. ones? It is for my Sonderfuhrer walking out uniform but I suspect that complicates matters so a plain Heer officer one is the first port of call.
Thanks

Re: Dagger hanger/troddeln/portapee
Officers wore daggers or swords for walking out/parades.The dagger knot is silver wire,the sword knot was dark green/black leather with silver wire thread and knot.Coloured knots were only worn by o/r with bayonets.They make repro daggers but not straps(as yet)there are repro SS swords available but not army officers swords.Original army hangers are around £125.Here are my original rigs.John
