Geo Evans & Co Full Grain Rawhide Leather Belt

**Unheilig** · 06-26-2012 12:03 AM

I found this belt buried amongst my fathers collection and I have not been able to find any information. Is anyone familiar with Geo Evans & Co and if so, what era is this from? As always, all help is appreciated. Thanks!

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.

It's a US Officers Garrison belt. The hook is for a sword. It should have a shoulder strap that crossed the chest at an angle. That's what the "D"rings attachments are for. Maybe WWI or earlier?

It's a Sam Browne belt. Looks to be from the early interwar period.

Looks like Geo. Evans & Company was a shoe manufacturer out of Hoopeston, IL around the turn of the century.

Your Correct. The Garrison belt is the web Mills made type with the 2 piece buckle.

I found this. I wonder if it is any relation to this belt. Your belt is made in Philly though. Just a thought.

I wonder if Geo. Evans and Co. was just a retailer of officers uniforms and equipment.
