Travd3 Posted August 24 Share #1 Posted August 24 Had this a long time, but just found again after unpacking. I am out of my area on this and could use some insight. Is this Civil War era. or earlier/later? Its silk, measures approx. 86" (end of tassels) x 3", has some wear and stains (expected). The interesting part are the tassels. They both have the inner wooden form, but one is larger in diameter than the other. The larger one measures approx. 9" length, the smaller measures approx. 10" length. The smaller one has some stitching that has come loose. They have different end attachments to the sash. They both look identical except for the diameter, length differences, and sash attachment. Could this have been a period repair where one tassel was lost and repaired with what was available at the time? While researching, I have not found a sash with two different sized tassels. Any ideas, input, comments, info. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travd3 Posted August 25 Author Share #2 Posted August 25 Would this have been an officer or enlisted sash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxrobot Posted September 21 Share #3 Posted September 21 Officer's sash. NCO sashes were red wool. Officer's were "wine colored." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
