parade sword knot

[jlt1987]

What type of sword knot went on a Japanese army parade sword. Can anyone post a picture of any knots?

i've seen pictures of them with the sword knot that would be worn with the gunto swords . although in one of fuller and gregory's books it states that they had the acorn type (like german sword knots i think). I'll have to look it up when i can find the book.
