M1936 us Belt

This belt is an original. It is in its as-found condition, originally fitted with its M1 rifle magazine pouch dated 1943. The markings are difficult to read, but the same laundry number has been stamped on both items. This is a belt issued to U.S. Army soldiers during World War II. The belt shows signs of heavy wear; it is a field-used item that has not been disassembled for display in a showcase or on a mannequin.
