Historical Background: Heer NCO’s Troddel
Troddel were part of the traditional wearing equipment for German edged weapons and were attached to bayonets, service sidearms or other carried edged weapons. They were not only decorative accessories, but could also provide information about rank, branch or unit affiliation depending on their form, color and method of wear.
In the Heer, such troddel formed part of uniform and equipment regulations. NCO’s troddel differ in their construction from standard enlisted versions and are today sought-after accessories for fully equipped edged weapons.
Since troddel were exposed to wear during use and were often separated from the corresponding sidearms, well-preserved individual examples are of particular interest to collectors of edged weapons, uniform effects and Wehrmacht Heer equipment.
