Interesting item. On the front, are those snaps or gromets for laceing?

I have no clue, but at a guess I'd say it is some sort of cavalryman's kit. It might be a form of scabbard for some carbine without a sling, but that is just a guess.

They are gromets.
I think it's American.
Just can't figure it out.

It looks like a WW1 or early WWII gas mask canister holder that is worn around the chest. I have seen pictures of WW I USA dough boys wearing a similar outfit. Hope this helps
