Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Civil War Federal Issue Enlistedman’s Waist Belt with Model 1839 Belt Buckle. The Belt shows obvious signs of honest wear, and age from decades in storage. The belt is constructed of two-inch-wide bridle leather, and has had one end trimmed off. Likely this was done by the soldier as this was the earlier model belt which had an integrally-sewn loop (which resulted in Belt Buckles being lost, as the soldier had to remove the buckle in order to use the keeper).
The belt plate is the Model 1839 oval “US” and has “arrow” hooks, tongue and 100% of the lead fill on the back. The face has a nice original finish with a pleasing mellowed patina on the raised areas.
An excellent example of a Union Civil War Soldier’s Waist Belt, as standard issue to soldier’s during the American Civil War!
