Below are 3 photos of a portopee (originally porte - epee) that I have had for over 50 years.
- All leather except for the thread holding the slider together
- about 19 inches overall length

Nice knot! I have no idea.
But it would look good on one of my US 1902s that need one.

It is a British sword Knot .
They were used by the Royal Tank Regiment (RTR), The Rifles, Royal Maritime Auxiliary Service (RMAS) and Warrant Officers Class 1 (WO1) of the British Army.

It came with either an Edward VII or George V sword. My mother bought me one of each in the 1960's.

Hey Dave,
I can use your British knot for a sword that I have. How about $75. ppd?
