Gunto Tassle Colours

[Brian Hancock]

Evening all. A friend has asked me to ask you knowlegable chaps about IJA sword tassle colours. What colour was the tassle for the IJA Administration Branch?

Thanks,

Brian.

Wouldn't it depend on type of sword worn and equivalent ranks? If kyu-gunto black, brown, silver or gold knots. If model 94 standard tassels by grade. Brown and blue, brown and red and brown and red with yellow. All brown late on. John

 

I should add that the silver knot was for officials on the kyu-gunto. J
