    Hello,

    this knot belongs to the Zollgrenzschutz (customs border guard). The Zollgrenzschutz was part of the Reichsfinanzverwaltung - RVF - (Reich Finance Administration).
    Such knots were worn from the ranks Zollwachtmeister to the Zollsekretär. These knots were given out and worn in service.

    The bayonet here is an Extra-Seitengewehr - ESG -(Walking out bayonet), bought privately, not delivered on business.

    In this case, unfortunately, the knot is not one of them. The frog and the ESG are pieces of a Wehrmacht member.

    The customs border guard had their own walking out bayonets similar to the police.

    Hopefully you are correct. I have a nice customs bayonet with a RFV marked frog. It is not the same color of green as the knot you have shown. I checked out some Customs daggers and some hangers are a brighter green. I have a Customs visor and it’s cord has a different shade of green strips. Thanks for your help. A Customs knot has to be hard to find.

    Hello

    Colors can of course vary from the past 80 years depending on the manufacturer, material, condition and storage. The piece I have shown is freshly issued in color and has never been worn.

    The knot from post 1 # has faded green in the passages and the metal from post # 4 tarnished.
    But all are original.

    Yes, the bayonet is a service of the RFV. A topic in itself.

    Thanks again. It is nicely aged toned so it is probably faded. I should have thought about fading.
