M-1923 Cartridge Belt (Manufacturer & Approx Year)?

Featured Replies

#1

What M-1923 belt do I have (manufacturer & approx year)? Is this a late WWII Harian, Hinson, Boyt, other?

 

Appears two tone (OD3 & OD7?) flaps and pockets, faint “U.S.” on pocket by male fastener, all KliKit Pull caps/sockets (1 Lift The Dot), Rau Fastner Co studs, appears to be brass fasteners. Unable to spot any other markings on fabric or metal belt tabs. Have not tried/do not have infrared/night vision mode cam to search for nonvisible markings but will try to obtain.

Korean War era.

No possibility this might be a WWII transitional belt given two distinct fabric colors and the snap manufacturers? Or was this a common combination post WWII?

Im leaning towards KW issue as well, as it doesn't have the inner straps and snaps like the WWII issue. 

#5

I concur, Korean War era.
