bandolier question

Thanks for the info. Will take care of it properly. I am assuming it is WW2 vintage? It seems to be in too good a shape for WW1. Is there any way to date this?

Unless there is a date on the item, there is no way to be certain of the age, but my guess would be that it dates to the pre-WW1 era condition not withstanding. It may, however, have seen reserve until as late as the 1940s with police or other mounted groups, hard to tell. It does show signs of having seen little use since the P1903 equipment's lifespan was short lived, it was replaced by the P'08 web gear among front line troops during the Great War.
