ersatz Posted 6 May Share Posted 6 May I'm hoping to learn if the color combinations of this late war bayonet troddel indicate it as belonging to a Machine Gun Company. From looking at the reference charts offered on the internet and seeing an exact color combination leads me to believe the troddel belongs to a MGK. The following notation ( Kp. Festungs MG Abtig.) was beneath the given example. Your input would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBsk Posted 7 May Share Posted 7 May The strap looks like short, maybe there should be something for comparation, i assume the color combination is for 16.company which should be MG probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 7 May Share Posted 7 May The strap and tassels were normally white, it looks as though it could be a Wehrmacht Troddel. https://www.wormser-auktionshaus-archiv.de/loeschweb_111/sites_111/auktionen_111/militaria_44/auktion44_waffen2.html Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBsk Posted 7 May Share Posted 7 May The loose tassels were only to 1928 so no real using by Wehrmacht, the piece looks like WW1 but could be a miniature piece to sample?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersatz Posted Monday at 19:47 Author Share Posted Monday at 19:47 Thank you Andy and Charlie for your input. Andy . . . . . The troddel is very similar in size to other standard Imperial bayonet troddels. I have had similar troddels in the past and remember being told that they, and this one would be considered late war as it was made of wool. I've also included the chart which indentified the troddel in question a being associated with a MG attachment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyBsk Posted Tuesday at 05:46 Share Posted Tuesday at 05:46 As You could see the strap and tassels are darker as on picture, it could be the Trodell is service one, not extra piece or it was discolored? The comparation in size, You should see the differences side by side with other one, yes the 14kp is in that case correct (3Btl) as You mentioned and a 14.Fst.MG Kp too.
