1913 belt with iron ring

[imarangemaster]

Here's my 1913 belt with 15 round pouches on it. Also is the iron ring that I got from my dad who was signal corps on Iwo Jima. He said the ring was for hooking a safety/climbing belt on for going up poles and palm trees (non left on Iwo to speak of). The belt is a replacement, as I wore out what was left of his 1913 belt playing Army in the 50s and early 60s! I don't know if the ring was issue (I doubt it) or just local issue or procurement. I actually have two he left me. One is rusty from use, and this one is in better shape.
