    M1 Cartridge Belt Value?? WW1 Sewing Kit

    I went to a Harley Swap Meet Sunday and picked up a OD Green USMC Marked M1icon Garand 10 pocket 8rd clip catridge belt . It was also marked "A Reif & Co, 1955" . All the pocket snaps are marked "Klikit" over a Star with the word Pull underneath the star. It is very clean with very little wear & tear.

    Also picked up a WW1 cloth folding sewing kit with brown uniform buttons. No markings.

    Any idea of the value of these items ?

    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.

    The later OD Green Korean War-onwards cartridge belts are not as sought after as the earlier date khaki. Repros, which often fall apart after modest use, cost about $50. I should say $75-$85 for the cartridge belt. No idea about the sewing kit.

    There is a WW1 sewing kit available from Baystate Militaria for $30. WWII's go for about the same.

    My WWII housewife has "Compliments of Coca-Cola" marked on it.
