CIVIL WAR, GOLD BULLION RIBBON SWORD KNOT

$225.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 2022-18

Privately purchased by military officers during the war, this ribbon saber knot or sword strap of gold bullion thread is complete.

A bullion ribbon is folded over upon itself to create a 12” long strap that terminates in a 3.5” braided bullion stem and a large bullion knot. In action, the piece was secured to a sword hilt and then looped around the officer’s wrist like a lanyard. Purpose of the device was to enable the combatant to retain possession of his edged weapon should he receive a blow that loosened the blade from his grip.

The bullion ribbon strap is 1/2” wide and has some minor wear but remains strong. A single woven loop on the strap remains in place. All bullion has a light patina with no tears. The woven bullion knot is in good condition with perhaps a few wraps of twisted bullion missing at the top of the fringe.

These officer’s sword knots are difficult to obtain in the market today.  [jet] [ph:L]
