Title Cavalry/artillery officer's pouch and belt
Nationality Austrian
Period c 1900
Sold

A clean example with Austrian hall marks to the top and sides of the silver pouch. This was worn by Austrian cavalry and artillery officers throughout the 19th century and into the 1st World War. The gold braid on the belt is in excellent shape with only minor signs of wear and the leather backing is in red calf.

The retailer's mark is inked on to the leather of the box under the flap. The pouch and belt leather are generally in good shape, but there are several old woodworm holes to the leather flap and minor bruising to the silver top of the pouch.

I recieved the medal today and I am very pleased with the quality. It is in excellent condition, both the medal and the ribbon, for an original.
