Tassel prices


Recommended Posts

Company grade are ubiquitous and a decent one should be around 150ish. Red/brown field grade tassels can be tricky as they are a bit rarer and popular, 400 for an example with mild wear and tear is about right. Good ones can sometimes be found on yahoo.jp auctions more frequently than ebay. As Hoanh said condition is the deciding factor, plus having a "mint" tassel on a beat up Gunto doesn't look right at all, and vice versa.

I know where a general officers tassel is, in immaculate condition. Oddly, it's on Kai Gunto with a koto blade.I know it's legit because the family that own the sword have had it for years and had no idea what they had. 

 

What would that tassel be worth today?

Fine condition General tassels go from 2-3KUSD, if you have pictures of this sword and tassel it would be very interesting. Now and again you see Kai Gunto with Army tassels but without period photos it's not something I would consider authentic.
