Original 1880 Watervliet Arsenal two-piece cast brass smooth faced belt plate with Mills .45-70 Cartridge Belt.  The belt has 45 loops for cartridges.  No stains or fraying on loops.  A nice tan color.  The length of the belt is 40 inches.  The two-piece plate is a tight fit.  Belt marked Co.B, 1st Regiment.

NOTE: The brass button on top of locking bar is bent, but I did not want to bend it back for fear of breaking off.  Locking bar works.

Comes with book on the Apache Kid which shows Indian Scouts wearing this belt.
