Victorian (1837-1901) Minty British Royal Army Senior Officers Sword Belt/Buckle

Description

This is a Victorian Era (1837-1901) Mint British Senior Royal Army Officer's parade dress sword belt.
The belt is regulation type, being decorated throughout with gold bullion, which is in quite nice condition. The buckle & sword hanging hook are in very nice condition as well. The buckle shows the Victorian Crown within a laurel wreath. The leather work is in strong supple condition, there is no maker’s mark on this belt.
The sword hanger strap ( the narrower strap that hangs against the leg, with the sword ) has not been modified as thetwo ends buckle together ( per regulations) in the middle. Some officers found that the buckle bashed against the leg, but modifying this was officially frowned upon. This is mentioned as some collectors may want a "textbook" example like this listing. These belts are a find in any condition and this one is Extremely Fine. This belt measures 30.5” long. It would be extremely hard to find a Belt & Buckle in this mint condition.
