Jake the Collector Posted December 9, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2015 I've finally gotten my dream item: a USMC-marked pistol belt. When I saw this on eBay for 50 bucks, I did a double take. Usually I see these go for over $200. Then, as I looked closer at the photos, I was shocked further still: it had the early type buckles on it. I ordered it without hesitation. Now it's here, but I still can't believe I finally have one of these in my collection. Plus it came with a 1942-dated M1911 holster that's had the flap removed (I assume for a quicker draw?). I couldn't be more excited. I'd love to hear what everyone thinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake the Collector Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted December 9, 2015 The manufacturer is RM Co., but the date is really hard to read. I think (hope) it says 1939? Not quite sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
