FIVE CIVIL WAR AND INDIAN WAR LINK STRAPS. Link straps were used by the cavalry to connect the led horses in combat situations. These represent several different types. Two of them, made of black leather and having black japanned iron buckles and snaps, appear to be of the Civil War period. Another, also made of black leather, approx 19″ long with a rectangular brass buckle, is the type adopted in 1874. The last two, made of russet leather 3/4″ wide and approx 17-1/2″ long, probably date to the early 1900s. CONDITION: Generally good to very good with some showing surface cracking to the leather. 4-32497 DM99 (200-500)
