WWII German Wehrmacht Army NCO Bayonet Troddel - Excellent Condition

An exceptional, original WWII German Wehrmacht Heer (Army) Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) dress bayonet troddel (portepee knot). This piece is in top-tier, undamaged condition, perfect for an advanced collection upgrade or to complete a high-end walking-out dress bayonet rig.

The dark green cloth strap features crisp, parallel silver-aluminum accent stripes along the edges. Both the slide and the stem retain tight, bright silver bullion wire threadwork woven with the classic, clean dark green chevron "V" pattern. The tassel head features a perfectly intact green cap sitting over a beautifully textured, unoxidized metallic bullion wire ball.

Free from dry rotting, fraying, or internal tearing at the friction slide points, this example looks almost as fresh as it did eighty years ago.
