Offered here is an original late WWII Japanese Army sword knot (tassel) for the Shin Guntō saya.
Crafted from brown silk, this tassel remains in remarkably fine condition. The original color is beautifully preserved — not faded, not sun-bleached, and with no damage, no fraying, no tears. All details are crisp, making it an excellent example of an authentic wartime accessory.
Finding such a piece in this well-preserved state is extremely rare, as most surviving tassels show heavy wear or discoloration. This one retains its full integrity and original appearance, making it a superb addition for collectors seeking only the best.
A truly exceptional item — both historically significant and collector-worthy.
