WW1 BRITISH AMMUNITION BELTS

Ammunition belts worn during the Boer War period and continuing until the new webbing systems came in around 1908.

Your comments:

• The Swedish one might be a very rare British issue (but Ocham says not)- I've heard of a two examples with British 'broad-arrow' markings.
  The other bandier is almost certainly not British either, certainly not 1901 pattern (the 1st to have pouches for ammunition in chargers) - all British belts have the male end on the right, and none had attachments on the inner surfaces.

• Barry is correct. The bandoleer on the right is for the Swedish mauser.

• Dear Sir/Madam,
  I think the bandolier on the right is Swedish.
