It's and old tale. The cavalry pistol belt never existed. The M1912 pistol belt with sabre ring is a Non Commissioned Officer belt, and it was issued because NCOs were allowed to carry the sabre, even if only during parades. On the opposite side, sabre ring was added to the M1903 cartridge belt just for cavalry use.
