ttWW1 Posted January 9, 2017 Share Posted January 9, 2017 I recently picked up this belt and bandage pouch set for my collection. However, I can't find any information on the belt. The leather bandage strap on the belt is marked RIA 1902, and looks to have been attached around its time of manufacture (belt is too large for it to slide off). If anyone knows any information or has suggestions on the belt, that would be appreciated. Link to post Share on other sites

ttWW1 Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sorry for the delay, have been out of town. Attached is a closeup of the RIA 1902 markings, although they are faint. Link to post Share on other sites
robinb Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Well, I'm stumped. It looks good but I have no idea what it's for. Link to post Share on other sites

ttWW1 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 I haven't checked with the museum yet. That is a good suggestion, I will definitely do so. Thank you! Link to post Share on other sites

Pointedcuffs Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 So does the attachment on the belt unbutton or how does the pouch attach?

ttWW1 Posted January 17, 2017 Author Share Posted January 17, 2017 The pouch was originally sewn on but the stitching on the back has come undone and that is why the pouch is able to come off. Before that happened, it wasn't removable off the belt. Link to post Share on other sites
cavsaddle Posted March 25, 2017 Share Posted March 25, 2017 I have a similar bandage pouch in my collection. It is equipped with rimmed eagle button snaps. The snaps are marked on the back with the Mills patent dates. The loop in the back is just large enough to fit the M1902 garrison belt. There are no markings on the leather so I assume it was private purchase. It is made from one piece of leather, folded and stitched. Best, George. Link to post Share on other sites
