Sorry, it looks like a reproduction to me. Good for a user though.

Got some real copper in the snaps from the corrosion showing there. Assuming it's a repro, it's not a bad one. Nicer than my junked out Korean-era belts to be honest.

I believe it is real. It is one of those made using both khaki and OD material. I can't remember when they were made but I want to say '43/'44 transition.

I've never seen one like it. No pleats at the bottom, no marking on the snap, not even lift the dot. The stitching at the bottom of the pouches is crooked. Are there any markings at all???Maybe it's Greek made. I've seen their Thompson pouches but not their belts.

No markings that I have found on it. I will take more pictures of things to help out. It does have age on it , Jay

The cartridge belt I'm thinking about was from the main suppliers. I'm sure Bill Ricca has the information on it. Yes it does look cheesy and it may not be real but I know there was one made that fits that look.
