M1855 US issue belt made in USA of high quality American leather with Brass Keeper installed. The brass keepers were commonly utilized on mid to late war M1855 Enlisted waist belts for Federals. They began to appear by early 1863 to replace the leather loop keeper that had been the standard prior to the war. The keeper has prongs to fasten to the leather waist belt. This belt fits all the one piece buckles and belt plates. Select Black or Russet leather color.

Proudly Made in USA.
