easterneagle87 Posted July 7, 2016 #1 Posted July 7, 2016 Can anyone ID this aiguillette? fourragere? Looks like an Aide-de-Camp. I had pieces of one of similar construction. I didn't know where to post this topic.
Grant S. Posted July 8, 2016 #3 Posted July 8, 2016 IDK, it looks more like the dress cavalry hat cord worn on the helmets way back when.
ww1buff Posted July 9, 2016 #4 Posted July 9, 2016 This is an aiguilette that is missing one of the ferrules. I have a similar one (although I am not at home to compare it in detail) with the two matching pieces with hook ends for attachment instead of being a single piece. Mine dates from just before WWI. ww1buff
easterneagle87 Posted July 9, 2016 Author #5 Posted July 9, 2016 Thanks for the info, but what country? If it's not US, then PM me with the details.
easterneagle87 Posted July 11, 2016 Author #6 Posted July 11, 2016 Guy says it is plain gold in color.
