The intact brown pig skin? Belt has much flexing, repairs with crude copper rivets, some cloth.
And a neat leather flap remains that covers the back of the buckle to protect the wearer. Out, about 37 inches long.
It is pretty much impossible that the belt plate could have been added to the leather at a later date and it is as it was during the War. Nothing on this rig has been messed with and it has been in my collection for at least 30 years.
