mint kyu "field grade" 

[Bruce Pennington]

I might have bought this one from you John!  Field grade.  Still had tiny rubber band around it.  I promoted my company grade Mantetsu with it!

 

[PNSSHOGUN]

Some real nice ones above. No I certainly did not sell you that one Bruce, no way I would've let that go. These two below are pictures saved from past auctions:

I'll post mine when I get a chance. 😁

I have one more I need to take pictures of! 

[Kiipu]

東京 = Tōkyō.

中野商店 = Nakano Shōten.

 

I could be wrong on the second character so @BANGBANGSAN or @SteveM will need to double check it.

[SteveM]

Nailed it.

少佐刀帶 岡道

[SteveM]

Hi @Ontario_Archaeology Matt, can you give us close-up of the tassel box label? 

I think its 准銀台(臺), but I'm not quite sure what it means. 

And, it might be い號 ?

Found you another box to look at.  Notice the label that is on the side.

准銀臺モール製/将官/刀緒/木箱入り/アンティーク・骨董品

?號 = ?号

准銀臺 = 准銀台

[PNSSHOGUN]

For General officers.

[SteveM]

The label on the side describes the kind of thread used: モール製 (made with gold thread).

The label on the front would be a kind of identifying number/series/class of tassel (I think). 

[Kiipu]

@brannow While these tassels are not boxed, they still have the wrapping paper that goes around the tassel.

Generals Tassels

 

The column on the left reads 軍刀用刀緒 while the two columns on the right could be patent information.

軍刀用刀緒 = Tassels for military sword use.

[lonely panet]

Is that for sale??

What tassel are you asking about?? 

[PNSSHOGUN]

Seems to be an old auction, the yahoo.jp ID isn't active.

I sold you a mint tassle, Bruce. It still had the tiny stitch of thread holding it together. 

[Bruce Pennington]

Ah yes!  I looks great on my Mantetsu Steve!
