Pattern 1892 USMC Officer Full Dress Mess Shoulder Knots Epaulettes Rare Pre WW1




Item History & Price

Information:
Reference Number: Avaluer:290044
Original Description:
Stunningly rare and missing from most collections are these USMC Pattern 1892 "Shoulder Knots" as opposed to the "Epaulettes".  They are in excellent++ condition and the knots are described and conform to those in the United States Marine Corps Uniform Regulations of 1892:

"Shoulder Knots.  Forall officers. - To be made of four strands of fine gold cord, three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter; to consist of a twistedstrap of three loops and an end of clover leaf shap...e, the twistedstrap and clover leaf end to be lined with scarlet cloth, so asto show the scarlet through the openings only. Shoulder ends tobe slightly elevated by wadding.  Rank to be indicated on centerof the clover leaf by the same device as adopted for epaulettes.The fastenings of knots to be the same as prescribed forepaulettes." 

The knots are also seen in the 1912 USMC Uniform Regulations for "Officers of the line" (see photo) and prescribed with the officer "Mess Jacket" and "Special Full Dress and Full Dress" uniform.
Measure just over 6" long and have 1stLt bullion rank on red wool backing affixed by tiny pins.  Even better is that these have USMC buttons (these are often found with US Navy as well as USMC buttons).  I have provided a reference photo of three well known officers that are dated in the early 1900's with these style knots on full dress and mess dress uniforms.  The three photos are not for sale in this auction.  The auction is for the knots only.
