It's an original circa 1905 commercial belt for sporting use. Notice the gentle age fading of the black tracer threads in the belt. I expect that the metal fittings are subdued bronze. These have never been reproduced. There's no real demand for reproductions of this style belt. I used to see similar high condition belts at shows in the good old days offered as military, but that's just a story for the uninitiated.

It's a beautiful belt. Enjoy it sparingly! The cotton is not as strong and serviceable as it was 100 years ago.

Yours,
