Regulation belt made of blackened buff leather.  This pattern belt and japanned iron friction buckle seems to have appeared in 1862.  It is specifically detailed as a regulation issue item by the 4th edition of the Ordnance Manual. This specimen is somewhat stiff. It has no keeper and has had holes punched in for a buckle tongue even though the friction buckle is still in place. Remnants of stenciled markings are present although all that can be read is “___ 186__”. Overall length is approx. 43 inches.  [jet]
