Cavalry troopers typically carried their carbines by an adjustable wide leather belt over the left shoulder, connecting to a sidebar and small sliding ring mounted on the left side of the carbine so that it could be carried hanging down on the trooper’s right side, with the forestock held by a small leather “thimble” mounted low down on the saddle rigging, and would also not be lost if dropped in action. This excavated set is the brass double-tongue buckle sewn or sewn and riveted to one end of that belt and used to adjust and fasten it, along with the “batwing” shaped belt tip riveted to the other end of the belt. Some of the leather still remains under the rivets of the sling tip. Both the tip and the buckle have a light brown patina with a little green verdigris on the back side.

This is a nice example of some essential fittings that every Civil War cavalryman would have been familiar with. [sr] [ph:L]
