Since this is the pre-war buff leather U.S. Cavalry belt and some of them were in Confederate state arsenals at the beginning of the war and others were captured, it may have seen Confederate use.  The straps for holding the sword, have been removed, and, since many Confederate cavalrymen did not carry swords, this may have been done during the war.  It also has a couple of extra holes, as you can see in the photos.  Most of the belts of this type are the mid-war or late-war types, and they are made with waxed leather or bridle leather and rough cast buckles.  But this belt is a pre-war or early war double buff leather belt with a very finely cast buckle.  It is the nicest one of this type I have ever seen, and it has the pebble grain background detail which is usually seen only on officer's buckles.  Waxed leather and bridle leather become dried out, flakey, and cracked with age.  Double buff leather, which this is, does not.  And it stays fairly flexible too.   In fact, buff leather usually looks very much like it did when it was made.    I am selling off my long time collection, so see my other items.  The time has come  to sell of some of my collectables, and I hope this one finds a great home.
