Sabretache & Crossbelt

The officers wore (in undress) a crossbelt and sword belt that was made from red Russia leather (see picture below). The Patrol jacket seen in the picture above is pleated, this appears to be unique to the DYC.

The DYC dress crossbelt had a silver pricker plate, chains and boss.
