Bavarian Sword knot question

[USN]

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what sword knot i should hunt down for an NCO of the 5th Bavarian artillery, I'm unsure of what battery but I've also seen some sources saying that NCOs didn't use battery specific knots. I can't seem to find alot of definitive guides for this so any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks,
USN

Not sure and I can’t look for about a week, but if you PM me and remind me, I’ll check my library when I am around my books.

Nco’s would have a swordknot similar in construction to enlisted ones but the tassel and crown would be in the state colors. In the case of Bavaria, blue and white

This is on ebay right now, not sure about the price.

That does seem to be a bit excessive but I can't seem to find another one available so maybe that's the going rate.

Definitely not i picked up both Prussian and Bavarian one both used at the Max for under 100 bucks. They are around you just have to be patient, i will keep an eye out for you.

If its a Mouted Artillery Batl. the Troddel must have a ( red Maroccan -) leather strap...otherwise indeed the one on the picture with wool strap.

It would be for standard field artillery yes
