The brass Belt Keeper was commonly utilized on mid to late war M1855 Enlisted waist belts for Federals. They began to appear by early 1863 to replace the leather loop keeper that had been the standard prior to the war. The keeper has prongs to fasten to the leather waist belt.

If you purchase the leather waist belt at the same time C&C Sutlery will install the keeper at no charge.
