Michaelr Posted July 15, 2019 Report Posted July 15, 2019 I was at a show yesterday and a fellow that only deals in Japanese swords showed me a tassel and asked me my thoughts. ( sorry I didn’t take any pictures) It looked like and felt like a original WW2 Field Grade type tassel only instead of brown/blue or brown/ red it was brown/ cream. It looked right, felt right but is a color that I have never seen. The owner thought maybe some type of civilian tassel? Has anyone ebay seen on with this color combination? It was not new looking but looked like it had been around for a long time. Thank you in advance MikeR Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted July 16, 2019 Report Posted July 16, 2019 If memory serves me right that colour has been noted before, it was on a Manchurian railway sword, it was in a thread here not too long ago. Very rare. 1 Quote

Very rare. Check the "Brown and Yellow Tassel" post in Military Swords section Dec. 13 2018. Dave M. 1 Quote
Michaelr Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Posted July 16, 2019 WOW Dave, thank you so much. I just checked out that thread and when I scrolled down there was a picture of a brown/cream one just like I saw. Thank you all very much. MikeR 1 Quote
