Officer's Folded Leather Saber Belt

(Click on image for more detail)


Originally most officer’s saber belts were not of a single piece of leather but rather were of a soft folded leather sewn over a canvas base, commonly referred to as “Russia” leather.  Ornamental stitching is commonly found on these belts. 

We are making these now only with the “CS” two piece buckle as shown.  The ornamental stitching on these fine pigskin belts really sets them off as a first class officer belt.  Each belt has saber straps also with ornamental stitching.  Each saber strap has detachable snap hooks. 

 

Because of leather size we can only make these up to a 45 inch waist.

If you already have a belt buckle you would like to have mounted on one of these belts, please contact us.

Each belt will be individually crafted for the customer so allow 5 weeks for delivery after receipt of payment.

Confederate Musket Sling

 


(Click on image for more detail)

All pictures shown
are side by side
with the original sling.

We have all seen the so called replicas of the Confederate musket sling at almost every sutler's shop.  We have had the opportunity to borrow an original sling from a collector and now offer this accurate copy to our customers.
The sling is made of a tight weave Osnaberg, as is the original, it is  33 inches long so  will only work on Springfield / Richmond rifle-muskets.

Notice the identical hand stitching on the retaining strap
and the properly reproduced wire hook.

If you want a 100% accurate copy of the genuine item look no further.
Sorry, since this is a true museum copy
I cannot make longer ones for Enfields.
