Feuerwehr or Justitzbeamte Portepee?

[Maarten]

Im not sure if this is a Feuerwehr or Justiz portepee.
Can someone tell me please.

Maarten,

My guess is it's a well tarnished Feuerwehr knot. The metallic thread looks to be tarnished silver that's taken on a copper hue. Lift up the slide to see if maybe the thread underneath is less tarnished. I have maybe 40 Feuerwehr knots with at least 20 knots that look identical to this. All 20 are dead ringers for a Justiz knot but sadly, all are Feuerwehr.

I agree, Feuerwehr...I have one on a Fire Police bayonet that is virtually identical in appearance. Great knot

Thanks for the help.

Could someone post a pic of a Justitbeamte portepee? Couse I can't find any on the internet
