Leather belt that meas. approx. 1.75 inches wide with a painted white surface. The leather is very thin but is still strong and supple. Some of the paint has crackled and flaked off but about 95% of it is still present. The interior of the belt has been left its natural color.

The plate is a two piece tongue and wreath. The tongue has a spread-winged eagle with a shield on his chest on a plain field. The wreath is the usual oak leaf variety. The shield on the eagle’s chest is a poor casting and is smooth instead of striped. The two pieces do fit together well and are original to the belt.

One end of the belt passes through the keeper on the wreath and is sewn in place. The other end of the belt passes through the keeper on the tongue. This end of the belt has a long adjustment strap attached to it which anchors to a buckle sewn to the inside of the belt. This adjusts size. There is also a sliding leather keeper.

Attached to the belt by two brass oval rings are long and short sword drops with snap hooks at the end. These drops are made of false embroidered chain links that look to be made of silver. Both drops are in excellent condition and both snap hooks operate properly.

In its day this really must have been a belt proudly worn by its owner. Despite the light age wear it still looks sharp.
