WAIST-BELT PLATE, WASHINGTON GREYS, C. 1850

_USNM 604137-M (S-K 293). Figure 213._

[Illustration: FIGURE 213]

The waist-belt plates shown in the _U.S. Military Magazine_[132] for

the Washington Greys of Philadelphia and Reading, Pennsylvania, while

indistinct, are definitely not of this pattern. Thus, this brass plate

with its sunken letters filled with black enamel must have been worn

by yet a third unit with such a name. Additional specimens in the

national collections have the company letters "G" and "K."
