WAIST-BELT PLATE, DRAGOON OFFICER, 1833

_USNM 5664. Figure 84._

[Illustration: FIGURE 84]

This plate, which formerly belonged to Gen. William S. Harney when he

commanded the 2d Dragoons in 1836, is identical to the general and

staff officers' plate of the 1832 regulations except that the letters

"U.S." have been replaced by the letter "D" in Old English, as

prescribed.[94]
