Original Item. Only One Available. Original Item: Only One Available. Pre-WWI U.S. Army Model 1910 Garrison Belt with Cartridge Pouch. One of the most attractive, and sought after, pieces of early U.S. web gear! This belt is in the pre-WWI “pea green” shade of canvas, with one cartridge pouch with a later lift-the-dot snap. The pouch is unmarked. The belt itself is marked on each adjustment tab MADE BY / MILLS WOVEN CARTRIDGE BELT CO. / WORCHESTER, MASS. USA.. The opposite of these tabs have patent dates, 1901 and 1905. The buckle still connects and functions very well!
The pouch is in good condition but the color is wrong and it was likely added. There is a very faint stencil on the belt itself. Canvas is in excellent condition, considering the age of the belt. There are no signs of dry rot and the pea green color is nice and rich, showing little signs of fading.
All brass pieces have developed a pleasing bronze-like patina over the years, especially the buckle which is now bare bright brass. This is a very nice example of a WWI-Era Garrison belt with pouch, ready for further research and display.
