COMPLETE INDIAN WAR SABER BELT HARDWARE
Since I've listed this hardware set several of you have sent me links or photos showing this hardware used on belts with 1851 buckles. I appreciate the info. That may mean this hardware was in use a little earlier than I thought but I still don't think it is of the Civil War era. Remember the 1851 was in use until it was replace by the 1872 model buckle.
Sorry to say that I don't remember where I got this. I bet you can't easily find another though. It is a complete set of hardware for an Indian war period saber belt. Snaps, Sam Brown and all. Pretty Cool don't you think. With a little talent and leather you can be sporting one fine saber belt.

US BIT ROSSETTES
Here is a pair of Civil War era US bit rosettes. They make a great addition to any cavalry display or can be re-attached to a bit which is missing the rosettes. It was common practice here in Middle Tennessee for farmers to use the surplus bits. Often the first thing they did though was to take a chisel and knock the US rosettes off. Not that were bitter or anything but there are a lot of bits out there without the rosettes!

1851 BELT KEEPER
This dug 1851 style belt keeper may fit your original rectangular buckle! It may not! It is cheap though. Even if it does not fit perfectly it will improve the "display-ability"
(I don't think that's a word) of your buckle. It was dug here in Murfreesboro some years back. It's not bent but does retain some of the heavy green oxidation that is common to relics found in cultivated fields. Ammonium nitrate fertilizer is the culprit.
