Courroie reliant le poignet d'un sabre ou d'une épée au moyen d'un passe-coulant.

OBS

Les dragons, ayant été les premiers à tirer à cheval, suspendaient alors leur sabre au poignet au moyen d'une courroie à laquelle ils ont donné leur nom. La dragonne fut utilisée ensuite dans toutes les armes : les officiers la portaient avec gland doré, quelle que fût la couleur de leur arme. Elle est encore en service en France avec le sabre.
