Buff leather belt in good condition. The interior of the belt shows that it was originally white but was dyed dark on the outside. The belt has a sewn and riveted leather tab near the keeper end which has two brass “D” rings and a brass saber hook. There is some tarnish to the brass surfaces but they are still solid. The back of the belt has two leather loops with a brass square. These rings and loops are for holding the detachable sword drop and shoulder cross belt, none of which are present. The belt has a Model 1851 NCO rectangular plate with the applied silver wreath. The keeper has a benchmark of 950 and is slightly bent. The plate is marked 533. The patina on the plate and the keeper match and even though they fit, they do not fit together well. The face of the plate is in good condition with good detail. The leather is supple with light surface wear.
