I've got two pistol belts, trying to mainly figure out information on the one I can't make out the markings on. The one on the left in the photos is a 1945 R.M. Co. (is it Russell Manufacturing Co or Russell Mills). The one on the right is ??? it has a different buckle and different keepers. I'm a newbie on all this, trying to learn what I've got and if there is any value.







Sure wish I could read this




Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

The belts posted are in Olive Drab Shade No. 7. Such OD#7 belts and 1945 dated are for $25.00-$45.00 -- it depends on condition.

The first photo above should be this one, I had the belts on the wrong side and they do not correspond with the other two pictures. I can't figure out how to edit the original post to correct the link...

Any idea on the year / make of the belt on the right?

Basic design is of WWII but it means nothing -- equally well it might be manufactured late 1940s/early 1950s.

They are both M-1936 web belts. In the real world the WW2 dated one would bring 20.00-30.00, the other belt is a post war belt more then likely early 50's dated and well worn, 10.00-15.00 at the most. The best way to find what the value is would be to check out Ebay and find one similar to what you have, as there will be plenty, you will get a better feel for the worth.

I agree. OD7 plus brass buckle means Korea era while flat keepers plus alloy buckle means pre 1943.
