Windraider Posted May 12, 2019 Share #1 Posted May 12, 2019 Hello, I have a scabbard here with a black tassel. This was probably braided from black shoelaces and fixed with olive-colored yarn. Does anyone know if and what a meaning this has or is it just handicraft. Grüße Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted May 12, 2019 Share #2 Posted May 12, 2019 Just decorative handiwork. as mentioned a shoe lace.Used possibly for a leg tie and braided to also shorten its length. Not uncommon to see this done in WW2 on both scabbards and pistol holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKIPH Posted May 12, 2019 Share #3 Posted May 12, 2019 Have seen this a lot over the years, on scabbards and holsters. I have my Dad's WW2, .45 holster that was done with the leather tie-down lace. SKIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
