With that barrel shaped suspension lug and sterling ribbon ring, looks like a Navy Type III to me.   

Ok thanks 

Out of interest in learning more, what are indicators?

This has a Mills plate, but is clearly of lighter construction than normally seen with Mills belts. The belt has no markings and not stripes. Single loops stitched on to the belt made of light canvas. This almost has to made by one of the other manufacturers to meet the demand for the Spanish American War. 

I can't help you beyond what Dorsey wrote, but it is a great reference.  Maybe @Ironbender will see your post.   OD

I just aquired 3 cartridge belts, 1 I have identified to my satisfaction the other don't quite match my reference books.    The first appears to be a Miils Model 1887 cavalry belt, but has a"C" closure not a plate and is tan not blue as described in my guide. It's likely as not I'm not seeing the right Model in this book. It could be a variation not noted in this book. It is tan double rifle cartridge loops and 6 38 loops, brass belt tips are marked with the Mills Model 1887 dates.

WWII Army.

Yeah I don't think it would hurt it any.  Most of the value of these are how wide they are anyways.   Just because guys try to fit them to the repo stocks.

Here are the two I have, the 1916 case is marked 20-17-67 on the backside.

Hello there experts!  I was recently gifted this purple heart and I am curious what era it is as well as army vs navy contract? I've tired to do my own research but honestly they all look about the same to me, so please educate me! Also please let me know if you need better pictures, I'm just not sure what details to be looking for to get a positive ID. I can see that its not numbered. Any help would be great, Thanks!
