1850's United States Militia Officer's Belt and Buckle

This is a United States Militia officer belt and buckle from the 1850s. The belt has a stitched and scalloped border on each edge and is a brilliant orange-red and white. The buckle shows an insignia in relief of an eagle clutching arrows and a laurel branch.

Circa 1850s.

Approximately 1-15/16" width (at buckle) and 37-1/2" length.

Painted/stained leather with brass.

Belt buckle with rectangular loop and clip.

This is from a United States Army collection which we will be listing more of over the next few months.  VAEJX05 LDEJX8/10 SLCEJX4/16 SVCEEX10/20

6- (Fine): Belt is somewhat brittle and shows heavy crackling but can still be folded. One loop is almost severed.

As with all my artifacts, this piece is guaranteed to be original, as described.
