Engraved bayo with frog and knot.

[TP Alexander]

I have this engraved dress bayonet with the inscription engraved in it with a blue/yellow/silver knot. Any opinions on the originality of the bayo inscription and what does the knot signify, in terms of the color??
Thanx,
Tim

PS-Sorry about the pictures. It's hard to get good shots of the fuller for me.

Congrats, great bayo !

This etching is not very often seen by Klaas !

I´ve got a similar bayonet from a veteran as a present yrs. ago !

P.S.:
I´m not sure, but the colours of the Troddel could mean: 17th Infantry-Regiment ?

Thanx for the reply on the knot/troddel.

That is hands down the nicest bayonet I have had the pleasure to see. Were these done at a unit level or perhaps individual level?

Thanks,
Joe

Private purchase, so probably individually done.

Tim,

Looks like a nice original, congrats. A very aesthetically pleasing pattern by Klaas too, the helmet & eagle motif by the ricasso is particularly beautiful.

I muist be really thick!! I never noticed the helmet background because I was so damned busy looking at the eagle wondering if it was real!!!!!

I think you are right about troddel.

Looks beautiful. These are indeed rarely seen and being in this condition only adds to the value. Congrats on a nice piece in your collection.
