celt72 Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 While browsing at an antique shop today, I ran across these six tassels. I was able to get them all at a really good price. My phone pics aren't the best, but they are three company grade tassels, one navy or late war tassel and two leather nco tassels. It's always nice when you find something you weren't expecting. 4 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Very nice, the NCO tassels have seen a massive increase in price lately. The Kai Gunto tassel looks to be in top condition as well. 1 Quote
Shamsy Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 Very good! I really don't know why the NCO tassels have hit such heights, but maybe they've just risen in line with the swords? Not many around, so if tassels are your thing you've hit a jackpot! 1 Quote
lonely panet Posted January 15, 2018 Report Posted January 15, 2018 double score on the type 32 and the type 95 tassel. getting very hard to find. A+ and a gold stamp 1 Quote
celt72 Posted January 16, 2018 Author Report Posted January 16, 2018 double score on the type 32 and the type 95 tassel. getting very hard to find. A+ and a gold stamp Thanks Hamfish. I was hoping you could tell me what indicates that a tassel is for a type 32? Looking in Dawson's, I saw pictures of later model type 95s with the leather tassel without the buckle. I thought that was what I had. Any pointer you could give me on how to distinguish the two would be greatly appreciated! Quote
lonely panet Posted January 16, 2018 Report Posted January 16, 2018 theres NO real difference beteen a type 32 and type 95 tassel that I know of, but it just refur to the non-buckled tassel as a type 32 as it pre-dates the type 95 in use, 1899 for the type 32 and off the top of my head 1934 for the type 95. correct me if im wrong???he buckle tassel I think was for the 2nd version of the type 95 1 Quote

Your reasoning makes sense to me. Cheers! Quote
