Product Overview
Officers Sword Knots were an important component of the officer sword during the American Civil War, serving both functional and symbolic purposes. Secured to the hilt, the sword knot provided grip retention during field use while also identifying rank and status through distinct color and material variations.
These reproductions reflect period-correct officer standards, featuring traditional cord construction and the classic acorn tassel form documented in 19th-century military regulations. Metallic silver and gold finishes correspond to officer distinctions, including specific variations designated for General Officers. Each style maintains historically accurate detailing suitable for proper military presentation.
Appropriate for reenactment, restoration, formal uniform display, or historical collections, these sword knots provide the authentic finishing detail expected for a correctly appointed officer sword.
