craig_pickrall Posted April 8, 2011 Share #3 Posted April 8, 2011 These are the threads that cover all of the components needed for the carrier. The ST-120 Carrier is attached to the M1945 Suspenders and they in turn are attached to the M1936 or M1956 Belt. Radio Carrier http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...17&hl=radio carrier&st=0 M1945 Suspenders http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...showtopic=13238 http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...p?showtopic=779 M936 Pistol Belt http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=2542 M1956 Individual Equipment Belt http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/ind...?showtopic=2545 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mower66 Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share #4 Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks for your info all.......but the baqsic question about the belt still seems to be unanswered.....checked the links but no info on the belt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B229 Posted April 8, 2011 Share #5 Posted April 8, 2011 Thanks for your info all.......but the baqsic question about the belt still seems to be unanswered.....checked the links but no info on the belt There is no special belt. The radio carrier is attached to the standard Field Pack Suspenders and either an M1936 Belt or an M1956 Belt, just like Craig said. Notice in the drawing you posted it states "Combat Belt (Not supplied)" because it's not a component of the radio, it's whatever belt the soldier has with his individual equipment.

11b inf Posted April 10, 2011 Share #12 Posted April 10, 2011 it's NOT a U.S. pistol belt..looks european to me ,maybe Danish or Dutch as these countrys used there own type of P-37 webbing after ww2 right up to the 80's..i would sway toward Danish issue..vince g. 11B INF..

SonofaWolfhound Posted April 12, 2011 Share #13 Posted April 12, 2011 I bought one of these sets from overseas a couple of months ago. Belgium I think? The belt was the only thing not marked U.S. and in mint condition and the belt was in good condition not mint. It confused me until I just saw that no belt was provided with this equipment load. Makes sense now. Love this site. Toby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofaWolfhound Posted April 12, 2011 Share #14 Posted April 12, 2011 I remember that this came from the Netherlands. Lend-Lease material. The inspection sheet is last dated 1978. Here is a pic of the markings and inspection sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
