NEW ENGLISH SLINGSSINEW-ISH THREAD, CREAM & BROWNThis is not genuine sinew thread but I do not know how else to discribe it. If you have something heavy to sew like leather or canvas. This will do the trick. It comes in a spool as seen in the photo and the photo is just about actual size. The photo does show the color a little lighter than it actually is. I do not know how many yards of thread are on the spool but it should last the average "diy" guy for a long time. It appears to be waxed as well. #2633 $4.95 BUY NOW!

Secretary of War Jeff Davis just couldn't imagine wearing white after Labor Day so he changed the Reg.s to black leather. The cartridge box sling is the standard size, 72 inches long. The waist belt is 55 inches long, you cut it to length. The holes are already punched for the buckle. ITEM #19-W $29.95 BUY NOW! BUFF LEATHER WAIST BELT ITEM #17-W $21.95 BUY NOW!

Lots of reasons. If your making your own officers waist belt you'll need at least one of the large keepers. If your making your own saber belt you'll need one, possibly 2 of the large keepers and at least 4 of the small. If your current belt is too large and you have an excess amount of leather tucked under, then adding an extra keeper will help keep it neat looking. ITEM # 2254-A $1.95 BUY NOW!

Our belt is made of top quality leather, it measures 57 inhces long. You can easily cut it to length with a pair of sharp scissors. The belt is one and three quarters of an inch (1 3/4) wide so it will work with any standard piece leather gear, holsters, cap pouches etc. The iron buckle has been blued, not painted so the color will not wear off, at least not for years.

BELT FOR RECTANGLE BUCKLESOur waist belt for 2 piece rectangle buckles (As shown above) is an exact copy of an original. The edges of the belt are finished with straight line decoration. The keeper (that's the small part of the 2 piece buckle) would be riveted onto the belt with 2 copper rivets, washer side up. When you look to the originals you will see this style of affixing keepers to belts is seen more often than any other. The larger part of the buckle simply slides onto the belt, past a brass adjustment hook, permenently affixed to the belt that can be placed into any of the adjustment holes on the belt. This regulates the length of the belt so you can get that "just right" fit. The 1851 eagle belt plate w silver wreath (as seen in photo above) is not included in the price of the belts listed below. However you may pick that option below. If you order the belt alone it will come with the all holes pre punched and the rivets needed to fasten your buckle onto your belt.

SEE SABER BELT BUCKLES ON PAGE 21 SABER BELT SNAP SWIVEL(A SABER BELT REQUIRES 2) CONFEDERATE STYLE SABER SNAPLEECH & RIGDON SABER SNAPSAt the onset of the War, Gen. Forrest was a Memphis City Councilman. And as you all know he outfitted his troops from his own pocket or from captured goods. Is there any doubt that he would have used Memphis Novelty Works Company for all they could have supplied? Dug goods from known Forrest camps and the photographic evidence proves without question that many of the Gen. Troopers were equipped with goods from Leech and Rigdon. Our original saber snap shown in the center was dug in the same Confederate Cavalry Camp as the CS shield and oval shown above. The snaps are made of solid cast brass with a spring steel snap braided directly into the snap. The best design possible for long wear without breakage. The snap measures 2 3/4 inches long. It has a beautiful ornate design that is cast into the brass. The loop measures 1 inch wide so it will fit any standard saber belt. It works great as the end snap on your horse lead too.
