AUCTION IS FOR AN INDIAN WAR CAVALRY 1874 PATTERN BELT WITH 1851 PATTERN MOUNTED ARTILLERY HANGERS. THE COLORS MATCH PERFECTLY SO MY RESEARCH LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THIS WAS A CUSTOM ORDER. THE BELT PLATE IS MADE BE H. V. ALLIEN CO. WHO STARTED CONTRACTING WITH ARMY IN 1877. SABRE IS A 1872 PATTERN LIGHT CAVALRY. LEATHER IS PLIABLE & IN EXCELLENT AS IS FITTINGS. SWORD IS EXCELLENT SHOWING AGE WEAR ON BRASS GUARD BUT OTHERWISE EXCELLENT. CONDITION IS VERY GOOD FOR AGE. LEATHER IS GUARANTEED TO BE IN SUPPLE & PLIABLE CONDITION. I HAVE LEFT IT AS FOUND. I AM IN MY 80'S & DECIDED TO SELL MY 50 PLUS YEARS OF COLLECTING. I RETIRED TO A SMALL HOME ON THE LAKE & NO LONGER CAN DISPLAY SO I DECIDED TO LET IT ALL GO & TAKE A TRIP I HAVE WANTED FOR YEARS.
