WHITE BUFF SWORD KNOT:
A very nice example of the extremely scarce White Buff
Leather Sword Knot. White Buff Leather items,
regulation for the pre-1851 Dragoon period, were for the
most part dyed black when the change was ordered in 1851
and relatively few of these early accoutrements survive
today in the original white finish. This specimen
measures 20.5” long and 5/8” wide, and is complete with
all of the individual leather fringes in the tassel and
the sliding loop is present. The leather is still
supple with no damage, breaks or other sign of
significant wear. From all appearances, this knot was
not issued, or saw very little use. $450 |
