Hi Frank, nice bayo you got there, as far as the felt goes I have seen them in red, green and yellow, and learned they denote service assignment, thats all I know hopefully someone can tell you more if needed.
The felt usually denotes the arm of service. I believe Red is for Artillery
Red: Wehrmacht and Flak formations
Green: Jäger and Airforce supervisory troops
Yellow: Luftwaffe personnel
Brown: Airforce communication troops
Thanks for the replies guys it clears that up for me thanks
Frank

Hello,
a nice dress bayonet (Extra-Seitengewehr) with matching frog (Extra-Seitengewehrtasche).
The color of the Felt has no connection to the troop... so red is not Artillery.The main personal join the army... the weapon-color of the army was whit... so the most Felts must be white....
no... the color was only a mater of the look... what the soldier like more.
A lot of use the read color because the combination of the black grips, the red felt and the "white" Metal are the colors of the German Reich - white - black - red -
Regards
