This H-shaped, stamped belt plate was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1886 and used on what is sometimes called the “loose-loop” belt, which has woven cartridge loops.

This clean blue belt and brass plate is likely unissued surplus, but is the type sometimes seen in period photographs taken in Cuba and the Philippines.

This example has very good color and is made with the early single row of cartridge loops. The belt plate is unusual in that it has no letter designation stamped on the front; it was left plain. The Anson Mills patent information stamped on the tongue in the back of the buckle and brass adjusters.

The weaving is good and solid, with all loops complete. A very good example of the army cartridge belt that was kept in use by the volunteers right through the Spanish American War.  [jet][ph:L]
