This antique Spanish-American War-era U.S. Navy Mills canvas cartridge belt is in overall very good condition, presenting a beautiful, honest military campaign character. The woven tan canvas body exhibits typical light service staining, minor edge fraying, and a natural aged darkening along the cartridge loops from past ammunition storage. The belt body measures exactly 34½ inches in overall length excluding the buckle, with a standard wide-profile width of approximately 3½ inches. Pertinent markings include a highly striking, embossed U.S. Navy Liberty Cap or Phrygian Cap motif directly centered on the polished brass plate buckle face. The lot is complete as a single standalone woven cartridge belt as pictured, without any accompanying loose ammunition or original military depot packaging. This rare piece of martial gear represents late-19th-century American military contract production, showcasing the patented Mills woven design favored by maritime and coastal forces during the Spanish-American War.
