Help with Troddel
Hello all I hope I am in the correct forum I have a troddel I would like some opinions on.It came with a police degen but I think it was made for an Army sword?
it is leather and what appears to be nylon Perhaps at one time the acorn was white but I think it has toned with age.All comments are welcome.Regards,Geoff

To me its a standard Officers schword portepee that has changed colour from silver to a yellow patina
If you want to know which colour were used by which troop then you can see it here:

Thank you Ger for your help and the link it will come in handy Regards,Geoff
Hi Geoff,
i have discussed it with Wilhelm Saris by pm and he thinks it might well be a Troop colour instead of a patina.
I have used your photo's and posted them on a German forum, i will inform you about the results.

Thank you for your efforts Ger I appreciate your continued research.I was at a "Dead End" so to speak!
This is the answer from the German Forum Expert on bayonets:
**Das ist ein normales Portepee des Heeres, große Forrm für den Säbel.
Der Quast ist aus "Cellophan" ( Cellulosehydrat) ..als Ersatz für Alu... das wurde über die Jahre gelb.**
translated:
This is a normal army Portepee, large version for a sabre.
The pommel is made of "Cellophan" a replacement for aluminium, this turns yellow over the years.

Ger

Geoff
