WW2 British Canadian Infantry Officer’s Gold Sword Knot

The WW2 British Canadian Infantry Officer’s Gold Sword Knot is a period military accessory designed for attachment to the hilt of an officer’s sword. This example consists of gold bullion wire, tightly woven to form a durable and decorative strap, featuring a sliding loop for secure adjustment. The acorn-shaped tassel at the end of the knot is a distinctive design element commonly associated with British and Canadian military sword knots of the Second World War. Sword knots served both practical and ceremonial purposes, providing a secure way to tether the sword to the officer’s wrist while also maintaining a standard of dress and tradition. Issued to infantry officers in the British and Canadian forces, the gold color denotes officer rank and aligns with established military dress regulations of the period. This item represents typical craftsmanship and materials from the WWII era and is suitable for collectors, historians, or those researching military uniforms and equipment.
