Estimated market value:
Of fine quality manufacture, with the cord fabricated from silver bullion wire wrapped around a white cotton core, divided into two sections; one section of a cord braided into multiple rows of loops; the second section with a slightly longer looped cord with a braided aluminum wire adjustment knot, with both joined at a single button-hole patch constructed of silver bullion wire; period-altered with the ferrules removed; without interruption in the embroidery; extremely fine condition.
In most cases, aiguillettes were worn purely for decorative purposes. They were worn by Officers, Officials, and Generals, but only on special occasions that required a more formal uniform style.
The aiguillette was introduced on June 29, 1935, and worn on the right side of the chest and around the right shoulder.
Aiguillettes worn by Adjutants and Staff Officers, however, served a purpose that went further than just decoration, instead identifying their function.
The Adjutant and Staff Officer version was made from dull silver-coloured cord, but of a simpler design than the decorative aiguillettes.
