One of my favorite groupings is this Boston Navy Yard marked leather accoutrement set. I wanted a complete enlisted men's leather set all with the same Naval Yard markings. It took me years to piece it together, but finally got it done. Shown here is an original model 1841 "hook" belt that is Boston marked with an 1861 date, the last year of production for the hook belt. Also a Boston marked Navy cutlass frog (cutlass is put up right now), a Boston marked pistol frog, a Boston marked fuse box, and a Boston marked pistol cartridge box, still intact with no post war alterations, with the closure tab, finial, inner flap and original tins intact. I also have a complete model 1862 belt set with rifle cartridge box and cap box. Maybe I will post that later.
