Japanese Russio Sword Knot?

[kelibus]

Hi!

This piece comes from a old militarymuseum, it´s note it comes from a officer in Russio - Japanese war, a gift to the museum year 1920, and have belongs to a Japanese cadett, can it be true it is from a Japanese naval officer sword?

I think this is a European sword knot rather than a specific Japanese style. However the Japanese used mostly European regalia and often Officers were trained in Europe so it isn't out of the question a Japanese officer had it.

Thanks John for the answer, I would search for a european sword knot to found out were it belongs, I hade hope it was a sword knot from the Japanese forces.
