M1903 Cartridge belt?
Need info. I just bought a cartridge belt that appears to be for WW1 and the M1903's ammo.
It is sort of tan in color and has "Made by Mills Woven Cartridge Belt Co. , Worchester, Mass. U.S.
A. on one side of the metal belt end and Patented Mills ( Mills is printed inside a stamped outline of a cartridge) Jan.29.'01 July 16.'07 May 18.'15 on the reverse side of the metal end.
There also is what looks like M 10 10 3 printed on the fabric of the belt in several places.
It also has 10 pockets to hold the filled stripper clips complete with an inside strap with a snap and a pocket cover with a snap also.
What do I have and has it any value. Thanks, Benny.

Depending on condition, your purchase may be worth the $100-150 range. Pictures?

Re. ammo belt.
Thanks Rick.
I found printed under one of the pouch flaps "JUNE 1917" so I guess it is WWI. There is some red staining on a small portion of it but it doesn't look like paint.
I'm lucky I can use the computer, not too advanced regarding posting pictures plus wife's camera is on its last legs. I'll probably take it to the next gun show and see what I can get for it. Thanks again for your reply. Benny
