C004092 CIVIL WAR CAVALRY SWORD KNOT.

These types of knots were issued to enlisted men during the Civil War and later. Emerson Gaylord was one of the major suppliers of leather gear to the U.S. government during the war. These wrist straps were intended to prevent the mounted trooper from losing his saber entirely if he had to let it go or lost his grip. The knot, constructed of black bridle leather, measures approximately 49cm long in its entirety x 2.5cm wide with a long fringe with a basket weave leather lace. The leather is embossed "E. Gaylord Chikopee Mass". Nice!
