royski Posted July 10, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 10, 2016 Found this in some of my fathers stuff and am trying to ID it. I am 99% sure it is a medical corpsman belt but wanted to get opinions here. Also, any idea what the markings stand for inside? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Posted July 10, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 10, 2016 Yes that's the enlisted man's belt. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ww1buff Posted July 10, 2016 Share #3 Posted July 10, 2016 Yes, it is an enlisted medic's belt. 10 pockets, all for field dressings, as opposed to the officers version that carried other medical treatment items as well. Are the letters N.S.D.? or N.S.O.? If you have your father's service records and know his unit, that could help trying to figure out the stencil. If he was a corpsman, the "N" could be Naval. Possible the "S" could be Sanitary. "D" of course could be for Detachment. These are just guesses based on the fact that it is a medical belt that may have belonged to a Navy Corpsman.

royski Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted July 10, 2016 Thanks for the replies. My father was a Nam vet,so this was not his. He just had boxes of web gear and such ranging from Indian Wars to WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
