Dear forum members, recently I aquired a wakizashi in shingunto mountings. It has an odd tassel which I think is a "modern" reproduction.
The tassel has been with the sword for over thirty years. (i know that's not a very long period) A fellow member from another forum has exactly the same forum and suggested it may be from another unit (Medical, railway, etc.)
To the best of my knowledge there are the blue and brown, red and brown, red with gold and brown, totally brown tassels. This one is red and maroon.
So to make a long story short, am I correct in thinking it's a "modern" repro?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers, Leen
