$25.11

This is a World War 2 US issue M1936 pistol belt. It is in excellent to unissued condition. The brass hardware is covered with verdigris from long years in storage and the smell of anti fungal agent can still be detected. It is unmarked but that isn\'t uncommon with late war equipment.

The M-1936 was a slight modification of the M-1912 with a more secure buckle. This was the standard pistol belt of the World War Two and Korean War GI.This basic belt went through modernization. With the advent of more magazine fed weapons in World War Two, such as the M-1 Carbine, the M-1 Thompson and M-3 \"Grease Gun\", etc., it was realized that pouches could be configured to fit on the existing M1936 belt. Thus, in World War II and Korea, every soldier armed with something other than the M-1 Garand or the BAR (which also had its own belt for magazines), used this \"modularized\" system
