Hi all, What length knot should I have on a first pattern luftwaffe 23cm or 42cm?
If its the long one is it the army dagger knot I need or is there something else?
Cheers guys

LW dagger portepee for first and second model - 23cm.

Ok its as straight forward as that.
I dont know why I thought the 1st pattern had the longer knots and the second pattern the shorter.
thankyou for clearing that up
The 43cm Portepee was worn on the 1st model Luftwaffe dagger, but after october 37 the shorter 23cm was worn, those who received there 1st model as an award or presentation were allowed to still use it instead of the 2nd model, and they sometimes kept the longer portepee on it instead of the shorter kind which is common for the 2nd model. so technically both sizes are correct for a 1st model.
Thankyou maximus that was a fantastic answer
it exist only one Luftwaffe Portepee with ca. 23 cm Band (Rundschnur) ... never official was a 43 cm Portepee worn...
earlyer Models of the RLV, with green Lines, or not official Luftwaffe Portepee
