Luft s84/98

Have a matched Gebr. Heller '39 S84/98 with its L.B.A.(s) frog and a beautifully tied faustriemen. Under the wrap is a unit mark that appears to be FLHK Gia. Can someone help with the unit, and also the significance of the acorn's color and stripe.

The entire blade is beautifully plum colored and a "g" block.

Now believe the city abbrev. is Gie or Gia.

My contact in England told me standard NCO and Fliegerhorst Kompanie (FLHK) an airbase in Giebelstadt, or Gieboldehausen or Giessen (Gie).

I assume this would be Fliegerhörstkommandatur (air field HQ), and the last bit is the airfield. I don't see a "Gia" airfield on the list. Several with Gie, perhaps Giebelstadt in Bavaria?

I don't know I have ever seen anything on knot colors, but could it just be the waffenfarbe? Dark green for military administration?

If you would, please post pics of bayonet. Love those plum blades.

Here is one of the better Portepee-Troddel-Faustriemen charts. I don`t see one exactly like yours though.

Maybe Luft Regimental Staff. Officer Candidate NCO.

I personally would be not 100% on Gie,(Giessen) could be Gle (Gleiwitz) or Fle which could be Flensburg.

Here's the edge...
