British Canadian Under Tunic Sword Belt With Straps 36″

The British Canadian Under Tunic Sword Belt With Straps, 36 inches in length, is a military accoutrement designed for secure sword carriage beneath a tunic. Typically issued during the 19th and early 20th centuries, this type of belt was used by British and Canadian military personnel. Constructed from durable leather, it features adjustable straps to accommodate various uniform sizes and allow proper placement of a sword or bayonet at the wearer’s side. The belt’s under-tunic design ensured that it remained discreet while providing functional support for edged weapons. Metal fixtures, such as buckles and rings, were generally made from brass or steel, offering both durability and resistance to corrosion. This item reflects standard military practices of the period regarding personal equipment carriage and uniform regulation. Collectors and historians value the sword belt for its role in the material culture of British and Canadian armed forces.
