Federal Silver Sword Belt Plate Boxed Set
<B>Solid Silver Federal Sword Belt Plate With Attachments In Presentation Box</B></I> A magnificent silver set consisting of an M1851 sword belt plate with keeper, two belt studs, an adjuster, two “O” rings, two snap-on sword hangers and a sword hook. A far cry from standard issue sword belt set furniture, these beautiful items finely crafted with extra embellishments that go far beyond their utility. Even the studs and rings have been engraved with scrolled foliate designs. Marketed by military outfitters Schuyler, Hartley and Graham, New York, the collection is possibly a salesman's sample and is housed in a custom 9” x 2.75” x 4.5” velvet-lined lacquered black box decorated with ivory. Complete with its original latch and key. The silver items are in excellent condition. A remarkable U.S. Army officer's sword belt set. <BR><BR> <B>Provenance:</B></I> <I>Ken Ferreo, The Tharpe Collection of American Military History</B></I><BR> <BR><B>Exhibited:</B></I> <I>The Liberty Heritage Society Museum.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Miscellaneous Collectibles, Smal (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
