NathanLM Posted May 17, 2020 Report Posted May 17, 2020 Guys, In recent years what prices are you seeing for original CGO and FGO tassels? Thanks for any info you can provide. Nate Quote
hxv Posted May 17, 2020 Report Posted May 17, 2020 Nate, It all depends on condition, CGO: $100-$200 FGO: $350-$550 The lower-end can be pretty beat up. Hoanh 3 Quote
PNSSHOGUN Posted May 18, 2020 Report Posted May 18, 2020 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. 1 Quote
johnb Posted May 18, 2020 Report Posted May 18, 2020 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?

PNSSHOGUN Posted May 18, 2020 Report Posted May 18, 2020 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. 1 Quote
