Very nicely preserved Civil War Union Belt Plate and leather belt. These two items came together as a set. Belt plate is in very good condition with all three hooks on the reverse and full lead.
Only has some slight wear and bending to the right side. It has a very nice honey patina with typical dings and dents from service.
The belt is not a typical military issued belt as it has no maker's mark but is an original replacement. This set would have come home from the war and been put away. The belt plate has not been detached from the belt as they have been together for a very long time. We did not want to risk damaging the belt in any way. The leather belt measures 33 inches and the leather is still supple but does show wears and light cracking.
The belt has a smell of mothballs as it had been packed away for a long time. A very nice displaying set from The Civil War. The item "Civil War U.
