BILL THE PATCH Posted June 5, 2017 Share #1 Posted June 5, 2017 Not sure if this is the right section, so if I'm wrong please put it in right section, I think it meets the criteria. I pick up this ww1 hate belt, it has a ww1 us dog tag. The name is scratched out. I believe this was done so the veterans name wasn't reveled maybe a family member didn't want the name to be known. The belt also includes a us signal corp disk. This consider to be a bring back. Missing the ww1 belt buckle. This had lots of buttons, all fastened with wire on back. I tried to make out the name, it looks like de Avery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cutiger83 Posted June 7, 2017 Share #15 Posted June 7, 2017 Why is this called a "hate" belt? ...Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BILL THE PATCH Posted June 7, 2017 Author Share #16 Posted June 7, 2017 From what I'm told by a friend of mine, who's a ww1 collector it most likely called a kill belt after killing a enemy they would take a button or a badge and attach it to there belt like a trophy. Soldiers wanted a souvenir this idea caught on , the french started making them as souvenirs to sell to the doughboys. The original name morphed into hate belt somehow. Even though made up there still pretty rare. Sent from my XT1031 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
