Is this as described by seller?

It looks very much like the one shown third from the left here:

The items are described here:

And then there's this picture on a German site:

The eBay item looks very well preserved, doesn't it? :-"
 
As Pointystuff indicated the item in the listing is 3rd Reich police. For comparison here is a Wurttemberg officer sword knot on a OD89 sword.

Thank you both!
This is not the first time this seller falsly advertizes his Third Reich knots as Imperial and I was pretty sure something would be wrong with this one too...
 
Here's another one...
Is it Prussian as advertised or Third Reich?
