Pattern 37 Gear

Economy Version

The belt looks like one of "economy versions" as well which don't seem that common on the collector's market.

Indian 37 Pattern web gear is about and one normally finds that the person selling doesn't realise that it is Indian. The colour and style of weave is slightly different and, unsurprisingly, they have Indian manufacturers markings.

Not an economy belt, they have the belt end sewn on, this still has the brass ends. It does have the separate strip for the keepers which was made to allow companies that couldn't do the weaving to make them. So it's modified but not one of the true economy ones.
