An outstanding find! This is an outstanding M-1851 Non-Commissioned Officer’s Belt with its original buckle with attached silver wreath. Worn by all branches of the U.S. Army at the time; Infantry, Cavalry, Artillery, Signal Corps, etc. These were also popular with gunfighters in the American West.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Belt remains in overall good condition, with its original regulation 1851 pattern, brass eagle belt plate, but the keeper is gone; the belt plate has a one-piece, applied silver wreath. Constructed of strong bridle leather, and exhibits a surface that was dyed black on its exterior side, per army regulations of 1851. The leather is in good condition but does have cracking and flaking; some traces of aged verdigris throughout. It looks like some of the adjustment holes were made by hand!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe end of the leather belt is run through the rectangular M1851 brass sword belt plate loop and clasped together by means of the early style, flattened brass hook. The brass keeper is sewn and riveted to the opposite end of the leather belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great example, ready for display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45060960944197,"sku":"ONJR26MYMF067","price":595.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/6EC886E0-0337-4EE3-8BA2-81B2D395EED8.jpg?v=1779903966","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-civil-war-m-1851-nco-belt-with-silver-wreath-buckle","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
