Wide webbing belt

I couldn't pass this up , a local Junk shop find for 5$ . M.C.CO 1915 M /l\ marked webbing belt , first time I've seen one . Good shape for a 101 . Any info would be great .

Chris,

Great find and as Didier says its a 1908 pattern waist belt. If yuo apply a damp cloth over the date mark it should bring out a claer issue date. It does not affect the webbing. A steal for $5!!

Thanks for the replies and link guys , I'm pretty happy with this find . I went to the shop to buy a half mannequin I saw there , it was gone . It's a pretty good shop for me , so far from there a Brodie shell (5th Can ) , airborne gas mask and case , 20mm projectile ( I had the brass ) now this lovely belt . I hope they keep finding good stuff .

Excellent find and such a bargain! I would love to have a British or Australian P08 belt! A great date for a Gallipoli display! Thanks for sharing.
