An original Vietnam War Era US Army general black leather belt with a gilded brass buckle. The belt is made of black genuine leather and decorated with a gilded brass belt buckle. The belt buckle features the national coat of arms surrounded by a half wreath of laurel leaves. Note: Up through WWI, all officers wore a brown belt with an interlocking eagle plate in garrison. After the war, the belt was no longer regulated. In July 1943, the Army Chief of Staff expressed a desire, as the original memorandum states, for a belt to be worn by all general officers when carrying sidearms, except when actually going into combat. The use of the belt was left to the discretion of each General Officer. It was worn with the Army Combat Uniform and also issued in conjunction with the General Officer’s Issue Colt Model 1903 Pocket Model. This belt is in excellent condition, showing only signs of light handling and storage wear. As stated previously, it was up to each General Officer how and when they wore their belts. Apparently this belt was rarely worn, or may have possibly been a Generals spare. The belt is marked size 38 and features a solid brass Spoon and Wreath style belt buckle with the federal eagle. The buckle is devoid of markings, which is common for these belts. American Vietnam War Uniform Accessories Collectibles.
