Branch color NCO bayonet?

[Flecktarn]

Gentlemen,

I own this nice bayonet with Portepee for a couple of years now, but I'm wondering to which branch it belongs...

It's a NCO bayonet if I'm right, but what do the green/silvery colours mean?
Is it Polizei, or just Heer Infanterie, or what?







Thanks in advance, Flecktarn!

Hi,

The Portepee is for a Heer NCO. They were normally worn on the short dress bayonet, not combat bayonets.

The green in the Troddel indicates that a Sergeant is a staff position while the aluminum indicates his elevated rank above other enlisted men. The NCO Troddel could be worn on the S84/98 as well as the KS98. If worn on the KS98 it would normally be the short bladed bayonet as Tim indicates.

Hello what for stampings is there on the bayonet? Thanks,Andy

[Flecktarn]

The bayonet is marked with 'F. Herdera.Sn' and '4166e'... The bayonet and scabbard are not matching, but the knive is totally mint.

So, this is a Heer NCO bayonet, suitable for any Heer NCO display?
I would like to use it for a Heer Infanterie NCO display...

Thanks in advance, Flecktarn!

Thanks for details, i assume its 39 stamped on spine of blade, normally the piece should be matched, the piece is normal for all soldier, only the trodel denote a NCO using. best regards,Andy
PS what for markings is on the scabbard
