August 6, 20205 yr #1 Gents, These are Czech (Bohemia & Moravia) edged weapon knots used during WWII German occupation. The Portepee with a lion on the stem was worn on B/M Officer swords. The Troddel was worn on B/M bayonets along with the smaller NCO style Portepee. These knots are shown in Reibert German soldier manuals in uniform plates of the collaborationist Czech military and police.
