Kriegsmarine portepee - Need Authentication

[Virgil]

Hello everybody
I post these few photos of golden portepee.
Is it authentic and if so, is the golden color specific to the Kriegsmarine accoutrements ?

Hi Virgil,
It looks original, unused portepee. Whether this is a kriegsmarine will be judged by photo of the bottom of the knot.

Hi Virgill,
the portepee seems to be an original. Like Jakub already said, I would also like to see the bottom of the knot.
Golden color was not specific to the kriegsmarine portepees. Only synthetic portepees were of a beige color.
All of other portepees were of silver color.

Thank you for all your answers.
So, is there a difference between a gray Kriegsmarine and Heer portepee (the bottom) ?

Hi Virgil,
in most cases, the portepees of the navy daggers have a bottom as on your portepee. In my collection there is also a navy portepee with such a bottom as that of the army.



Some collectors mean that it has to do with a manufacturer. Others believe that this is due to the tradition of manufacturing of the navy portepees. Please take a look at the bottom of an imperial navy portepee.

Best,
Oleg.
