here's a photo of a warship's cutlass rack - no knots or lanyards apparent. i recall the racks on hms warrior in portsmouth here in the UK also did not have knots/lanyards on the racked cutlasses. current USN/USCG enlisted cutlasses (and marine nco swords) do not use sword knot/lanyards. i have added a plain brown leather sword knot to my dutchy klewang. as an ossifer i thought it looks undressed w/o one Last edited by kronckew; 23rd December 2014 at 09:33 AM. |
