Only One Available. This is a great example of a Civil War Federal Issue belt rig including a partial Enlisted Man’s Waist belt with a Model 1839 Belt Buckle, which has a scarce “Arrow Back”, a great M1855\/61 .58 Caliber Cartridge Box without box plate, and a Federal cap pouch with the original vent pick inside. The belt itself is broken off on the end and is missing the end piece for the closure of the belt. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe M1855\/61 .58 Caliber Cartridge Box retains both of its original tins, but it is missing the original cartridge box plate.

Condition of the cartridge box is rather excellent with some heavy loss of the leather finish on the flap. The securing strap is retained along with the knob, both roller buckles are intact and the inner flaps are in great shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cap pouch is in good condition but the securing strap is entirely broken off, though it still sits on the knob for display. It could probably be restitched if someone wished to do so.

The condition of the buckle is good and it was not excavated (not dug up). This die-stuck specimen has the large raised letters \"US\" on the face and exhibits a heavily worn dark bronze patina overall. The backside of the plate, complete with its brass hooks all intact, is lead filled and in good condition with some residue as shown. The belt has heavy rubbing and loss of finish but is still solid besides the end.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn outstanding set, ready for further research and display.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45395988840517,"sku":"ONJR26JUMS066","price":895.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR26JUMS066.jpg?v=1784933834","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-u-s-civil-war-m1855-61-58-caliber-cartridge-box-belt-rig-with-u-s-arrowhead-buckle-partial-waist-belt-with-cap-pouch","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
