A fact from Aiguillette (ornament) appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 6 September 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that aiguillettes (pictured) are decorative tags or tips for cord or ribbon, usually of gold and sometimes set with gemstones or enameled, used to decorate 16th and 17th century clothing and hats?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2007/September.

Historical basis

Surely this is the historical basis for the modern aiguillette? In which case, perhaps this article would be better merged there, as a history section? -- !! ?? 10:05, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is the origin of both aiguillette and aglet. I have considered whether merging is appropriate, or making a "main" article with sub articles. Open to suggestions. - PKM 16:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Aiguillette?

There is far too much overlap and duplication for two articles. -- BullRangifer (talk) 14:54, 10 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I agree! I think this article should be merged with both Aiguillette and Aglet. - PKM (talk) 22:48, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
