During the Korean War, it also contained a number of independent units such as the 766th Infantry Regiment.
The web belt is in fantastic condition and is not the type that is load bearing, this is the type to hold up trousers. The khaki canvas is in solid condition but is not without staining. The buckle tab is dated 1952 and is a late war example. The stamped brass buckle is in great, but tarnished condition. The face of the buckle has the standard raised 5-pointed star with the Korean “gun” character 군 meaning “Army”.
A beautiful example that comes more than ready for further research and display.
