Hi mate.

Whoever told you he thought that it was a WW1 Briish bandolier was correct.

You have a 1903 ptn leather bandolier for mounted use. It was still on issue to some personnel into about 1941 (ish)
There should be a War Dept arrow and date stamp on it somewhere.

BTW, it looks to be in very good condition as well.

Good find.

Regards etc
