The end of the belt is run through the rectangular M1851 brass sword belt plate loop and stitched together A separate leather adjuster loop secures the connection. The brass keeper is sewn to the opposite end of the belt. This example retains its hanger.

Overall condition is good but definitely shows significant wear. While it has deteriorated a bit, this belt still has most of its components, and would make an excellent part of any civil war collection.
