Red Cross Leaders Knot

Yes, but would love to see if it passes the black light test to see if it's post war manufactured. IMO it just has the "too nice" of look to it. Keep us posted, if real, very nice accouterment! Best wishes,

A Postschutz knot would show orange flecks in the cord (& sometimes stem accents). The colored flecks on this knot look more red. The construction & color scheme might be for DRK Leader although the knots I've seen on DRK Leader daggers were all Heer dagger knots.

I do know that with Postschutz knots, there was a late(r) variant with the silver only stem although some collectors avoid these, thinking they're postwar. This one is very similar &, as Mat says, looks quite fresh. How's the source?

Thank you Bill for your opinion

The Postschutz cord looks a bit too thick to me, a sign of a Tommy Johnson.
