White buff leather belt that is slightly stiff with heavy surface dirt from age and storage. One of the sections has a 1.50 inch piece of leather missing on one edge.

One disc has a spread winged eagle at center while the other has a “US.” The frog for the short sword is torn from the top edge to the hole for the scabbard stud. Again, despite the minor problems the belt is complete
