Item Description
Original Items: Only One Set Available. This is a wonderful M-1910 pistol belt rig, set up for what was seen being carried by Officers and Non-Commissioned Officers alike. The rig is very attractive and iconic to the US Military during both World Wars!
With the U.S. entry into World War I, the Model 1910 equipment experiences some distinctive changes. The color of the equipment went from olive drab to drab (khaki) to accommodate commercial manufacturers who had difficulty matching the olive drab dye, but even the drab color soon weathered to an off white. The eagle snaps gave way to lift-the-dot fasteners on both the cartridge belt and the canteen cover, and manufacturing techniques were somewhat simplified.
The Set Consists of the Following Original Items:
- M1910 Pistol Belt by Mills: The Belt is in fantastic condition, with the webbing not exhibiting any signs of dry rot, tears, or unsightly damage. The brass hardware still retains some of its original blacking. Made by MILLS as marked on the metal ends.
- M1916 Holster: The holster is in great shape, with only light staining, and retains its original russet leather color, having never had oil applied which would darken the leather. There is tearing on the top of the belt loop on the back. Made by SEARS and Dated 1917. Verdigris on the fittings.
- USMC Marked M1911 Double Magazine Pouch dated 1918: Free of damage and looks to have seen very little use in service. It is marked on the inside R.H. LONG 10-1918 over U.S.M.C. PHILA DEPOT
- M1910 First Aid Pouch by P.B. & Co. 1917. Snaps in good working shape. Contains an original 1916 Contract First Aid bandage, unopened.
This lovely, iconic set comes ready for display.
