Unknown knot, what for ??

[zbv500]

Hi all,

I got this knot and its different from what I had before. It seems to have metal/ Alu wooven into the fabric ?

What could it be ?`

Thanks, Jens

I suspect it's a standard Heer dagger knot that's showing an atypical type of tarnishing / oxidation. Seen this on a variety of dagger & bayonet knots, probably due to materials which may have differed from manufacturer to manufacturer.

I think Billy is correct. It looks like the Portepee is made from a combination of celluloid and wire bits and pieces that have aged differently.

I believe they are celleon material and I have had these on some later produced army and navy daggers.

I have seen these on both late navy's and late army's as well, I just picked one up at the last SOS show.

Ok, many thanks for letting me know. Bleeched cellon would make sense of course.

Thank you, Jens

It certainly has an interesting look to it, especially the tresse.
