Model 1876 Prairie Belt .45-70 and .45 LC LARGE (38-48 Inches)
This product data sheet is originally written in English.
New reproduction of the first looped cartridge belt officially adopted by the US Army in 1876. Copying what soldier in the field had been doing for a decade, the Ordnance Department created this belt by attaching a canvas sleeve over a 1 3/4" leather belt. The sleeve has canvas loops for cartridges. The loops were varnished for durability, so they are very stiff when new.
One problem with the new belt: Holster and other belt equipment for 1 3/4" belts did not fit on it. This was eventually alleviated by the Forsythe holster with a larger belt loop. Meanwhile, soldiers often cut the belt loops open and laced them closed around the belt with a leather thong.
This is the Large size belt, which adjusts from 38-48 inches. It has 55 cartridge loops.
