Sabre Chape/Hook Repair Set for Cavalry Mills Belt
Price: 45
The Spanish American War-era Cavalry Mills Belts had a leather chape that occasionally hardened or dry rotted and broke, losing the brass sabre hook. These chapes were attached with two standard brass rivets.
I had a very few replacement or repair kits made up that include the leather chape, the brass hook and the brass box ring that the chape wrapped around. The brass can be smoothed and aged to match the condition of the belt and will save it from being just another damaged or "infantry" Mills Belt.
