SARGE Posted February 25, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 25, 2020 Gents, I picked up a nice late war Japanese Army Officer sword knot as worn on the Army shin-gunto at SOS last week. This tassel appears to be un-issued and is all brown in color with the correct thin straps. Reproduction straps will often be thick and feel padded so beware. Earlier sword knot straps came with straps that are brown on the outside and red or blue (or other colors) on the inside depending upon rank and service. Navy straps will also be found in this all brown color. These sword knots have become hard to find and expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
