lonely panet Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 ok, can of warms time. whom here has ever seen a gold bullion tear drop tassel? before every one will say company grade army, im thinking unrecorded gold police grade? as its identical to the silver police grade BUT GOLD 1 Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 12, 2021 Report Posted May 12, 2021 How about this entry from F & G, pg 201. He said the "tan or dark gold" was "seen on a Civil official's sword". His seems to have the same tear-drop shape, too. Quote
lonely panet Posted May 13, 2021 Author Report Posted May 13, 2021 i thought that the afor mentioned BLACK tear drop tassel filled thata role Quote
Bruce Pennington Posted May 13, 2021 Report Posted May 13, 2021 Well, I'm way out of my league in a tassel discussion, especially the pre-WWII kind. This is just from Fuller. Now, as good as his is, there are still things we've found out that have corrected his work on certain items. But, you can see from his page that the "dark gold" was found on that police sword. Quote

Bruce Pennington Posted May 15, 2021 Report Posted May 15, 2021 Could be that "dark gold" Fuller tried to describe. Quote

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 16, 2021 Report Posted May 16, 2021 Looking closer it is metallic, looks like copper/green. Some kind of oxidizing has taken place perhaps.... Quote
