Original Item: Only One Available. A very nice original WW1 black leather Naval officer’s sword belt complete with both sword hangers fitted with correct dog leash attachments to be locked onto the sword scabbards hanging rings. The belt is adjustable to a maximum 35″ waist, remember adult men were much smaller in stature a hundred years ago.
The belt has an original Royal Naval officer brass buckle featuring the King’s Crown over a fouled anchor surrounded by a laurel wreath. Dating from 1901 when King Edward ascended the throne after the death of Queen Victoria, this style of belt was in use right up until 1952 when Queen Elizabeth took over.
Overall excellent condition, hard to find.
