Description

White linen shoulder belt with a single frog that would hang to the left and hold a bayonet or a small sword and scabbard with a frog stud. The straps meet at the frog (which is basically a loop with what appears to be a button hole in it). One strap is about 22" long, the other is about 37" long and ends in a small metal buckle.
