Original U.S. Philippine-American War Cavalry Officer .38 Caliber Cartridge Belt with Cast 1881 Style Buckle & M1896 Revolver Holster

Original Item: Only One Available. This is a great Model 1887 U.S. Army Model 1887 Cavalry Officer .38 Caliber Cartridge Belt with a cast brass 1881 style buckle and a 1903-dated M1896 revolver holster.

The belt is in good shape with 45 loops for revolver cartridges. There is some fraying at several points on the belt.

The holster is marked:

ROCK ISLAND
ARSENAL
1903
H.E.I.

The holster has extremely heavy wear with crazing across its length and stitching loss at the bottom of the holster. The front flap is stamped F4 / 4, possibly an old unit marking.

A very lovely pistol belt set from the Philippine-American War era. Ready for further research and display.
