Hi Nick, any other markings to the Pistol belt?

Cheers, Ade.

hiya Ade
yeah but its a bit hard to get a good shot without it looking like a smudge this is the best shot i could get

Hi Nick, thanks. It will be a copy made by Jerry Lee at "What Price Glory".

Cheers, Ade.

thanks Ade thought so as the metal parts looked very new but the seller did say i was poss repro but i went for it as the pouch & canteen came with it & for £25.99 i thought it was a good price & i'll keep a look out for a real belt to replace it

I think that was a good price for the lot

I still have hard time getting around US webbing being reproduced. It always used to be so plentiful, but that was 20 years ago now.....

You can get an original for £20 from Tony Budge here:

Online Shop

These are all mint ex Lend -Lease to Russia and never got used.

Cheers, Ade.

The PUC is 1960's to now based on that D22 hallmark - Denmark Military Equipment Co of New York.

The 2 bullion patches date from WW2. The bar represents 6 months service overseas (WW2). The chevron represents 6 months overseas during WW1 (this one is as worn during WW2).
