10 pocket ammo belt

**MasterChief** · 11-20-2022 11:38 PM

I believe this to be a GI 10 pocket ammo carrier of the Korean era, in NOS/unissued condition. I am unable to read the factory printing on the inside except I think the date is 1960. I paid $20 at the local flea market.
I am hoping one of the experts might be able to decipher the text of the printing from experience with clearer examples.
Thanks for looking. Dave

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

BAR belt, I think.

The BAR pockets for the magazines are much larger

There was some use in Viet Nam with M16 icon

Mini-bar?

It takes some work to decipher the markings sometimes, you may have to turn it this way and that...all angles until you can put it together. I'd think earlier than 1960 though, maybe 1950...they made so many.

I think you have it bracketed. It's not a M1923 style belt --- no straps and snaps for the stripper clips. Buckle looks like brass rather than pot metal. And the date stamp is starting to look more like 195_ as stated above.
