Six Tassel Score

[celt72]

While browsing at an antique shop today, I ran across these six tassels. I was able to get them all at a really good price. My phone pics aren't the best, but they are three company grade tassels, one navy or late war tassel and two leather nco tassels. It's always nice when you find something you weren't expecting.

Well done!

Very nice, the NCO tassels have seen a massive increase in price lately. The Kai Gunto tassel looks to be in top condition as well.

Very good! I really don't know why the NCO tassels have hit such heights, but maybe they've just risen in line with the swords? Not many around, so if tassels are your thing you've hit a jackpot!

Thanks Hamfish. I was hoping you could tell me what indicates that a tassel is for a type 32? Looking in Dawson's, I saw pictures of later model type 95s with the leather tassel without the buckle. I thought that was what I had. Any pointer you could give me on how to distinguish the two would be greatly appreciated!

theres NO real difference beteen a type 32 and type 95 tassel that I know of, but it just refur to the non-buckled tassel as a type 32 as it pre-dates the type 95 in use,

 

1899 for the type 32 and off the top of my head 1934 for the type 95. correct me if im wrong???he buckle tassel I think was for the 2nd version of the type 95

Thanks Hamfish. Your reasoning makes sense to me. Cheers!
