50/70 Cartridge Belt made from Civil War Belt , Infantry / Cavalry For Sale

Many soldiers on campaign used old belts left over from the Civil War , and modified them to use as acartridge belt . Finding materials around the Fort or Post, theyadded bullet loops to the said belt . This one is made from an old NCO belt made of buff leather (tanned here is the USA) , leatherloops are really a piece of scrap strap off an old harness. Each bullet loop is hand sewn (as the originals were) in place with a total of 16 stitches . Not a fancy item , but well made , and the soldiers loved them . Very few original belts of this type has survivedto the present day.There\'s a lot of work in this belt , 40 50/70 loops , size 38 and adjusts out to size 42. I believe the buckle hasp in original , the plate itself I believe is repro. thanks for looking
