Obviously a private purchase.
Certainly not issue. The claim of it being a model 26 is dubious.
Military regulations wouldn't allow for wear with regulation uniforms
The value would only be that of a curiosity.

There is a lot of info online, I might be off on the day , but this buckle was officially adopted and allowed to be worn by members of the 9th ,on the john Brown belt, August 8th, 1926. It is all on the internet from various sources.

Did it state anything about state militias ?
What are the sites you are quoting?
There is no such thing as a john brown belt.
There is a Sam Browne belt but they have clawed belt buckles.
