刀緒とは軍刀の柄頭に提げられた紐のことです。
元々は戦闘の際、手首を通し脱落防止用の紐として使われていました。
実際には、刀緒の色や素材、形状の違いによって、階級や所属などを示す飾りの要素が大きかったようです。
また、金モールで作られた正装、礼装時に用いられる正刀緒で儀礼刀などに付けれられる物もあります。
陸軍軍刀の場合は、絹糸平織状の茶色を基調とした紐で、階級により裏地が紺青色は尉官・准士官。緋色は佐官。緋色に金糸模様入りは将官。
さらに将官は房が金色で、一目で階級が分かるようになっています。
こちらの帝国陸軍佐官の正刀緒など数点をヤフオクにて出品予定です。どうぞお楽しみに。
A sword cord is a strap attached to the hilt of a military sword.
Originally, it was used as a cord to pass around the wrist during battle to prevent it from falling off.
In practice, the sword cord seems to have had a large decorative element to indicate rank and affiliation, depending on its colour, material and shape.
There are also ceremonial sword cords made of gold braid used for formal and ceremonial dress, which are attached to ceremonial swords.
For army swords, the strings were made of plain-weave silk and were brown in colour, with a dark blue lining for lieutenants and adjutants, and a scarlet lining for sergeants. Scarlet is for sergeants. Scarlet with a gold thread pattern is for generals.
Furthermore, generals have a golden tassel, which identifies their rank at a glance.
We are planning to sell several items on Yahoo! Auctions, including this Imperial Army officer’s regular sword cord. Please look forward to it.
