Red Silk Military Shako/Dress Cord — Hand-Plaited with Flemish Knot Tassels

A fine red silk (or silk-blend) braided cord in the tradition of 19th-century European shako and officer's dress cords. Hand-plaited in a tight, glossy multi-strand braid, with a woven toggle/button closure and dual ornate flemish-knot "acorn" tassels finished in dense silk fringe. The finer, higher-sheen braid and tassel work is typical of officer-grade or ceremonial dress cords, as opposed to the coarser wool cords issued to other ranks — though no regimental markings are present to confirm a specific unit or officer status.
