This buff leather m1851 sword belt comes complete with sword hangers, shoulder attachment (Sam Brown style), all matching brass hardware, and remains in wonderful condition.

The buff leather, though dry from age and storage, is in excellent condition with no cracking, creasing, or damage.  Hand stitching is very strong and intact throughout with the exception of one localized area near the riveted anchor for the shoulder strap attachment. All brass is free of tarnish, as are all of the copper rivets.  Has interior stamp, “W. KINSEY / NEWARK NJ”.  The belt plate features a beautiful wreath of German silver beneath a proud Federal eagle.

The m1851 regulation sword belt was issued to enlisted cavalry before and during the Civil War, and could be seen on enlisted artillerymen and non-commissioned officers under specific circumstances that required the hanging and wearing of a sword.

Belt measures approximately 37” in length and 2” in width.

Shoulder strap attachment measures approximately 33”

This belt would make an ideal piece for the discerning collector of Civil War accoutrements.  [CM][ph:C/L]
