Nice sword!

The naval coxcombing (fancy knotwork on the railings) is found on most US Navy or Coast Guard ships, and I suspect it's the same on most naval ships worldwide. It keeps the recruits busy. All the ships I've been on, would never got as dirty as the examples I found googling, they'd be redone &/or painted white before the CO (Commanding Officer, ie. Captain) could see them.

kronekew,

Glad you like my sword. Your examples show that I guessed correctly. Interesting name for this kind of wrap because initially, coxcomb referred to a type of jester's cap and later became a pejorative for a vain and foolish man. Thanks a lot for the info. I will add the term to the sword description in my database.

Sincerely,
RobT
