This is an officer’s sword belt rig in good condition. Belt is constructed of folded leather that is stitched. Belt measures approximately 39” long x 1 ¾” wide. Leather is smooth and supple with moderate surface cracking and minor finish loss. Leather “uniform protector” (which goes behind buckle when worn) shows more wear.  Shield-shaped “hip pad” where J-hook is mounted shows heavy wear at bottom edge. Two sliding belt loops remain on belt but have lost the stitch that closes the loop.

Pattern 1851 buckle features high relief details on front and wide tongue on back. No bench mark numbers on buckle or keeper. Keeper is 1 ¼” wide. Two leather sword hangers are present; front (short) hanger has tear. Brass snap hooks, J-hook, and “buttons” are all in place. Most stitching remains.  No “Sam Brown” shoulder strap.  Overall, a good and complete officer’s sword belt that would look good on a uniform display.   [jet]
