These are M1936 Pistol Belts as used in WWII / Korea. These also show up in early Vietnam with advisors and ARVN troops. Belts are in in OD#7 (dark OD vs Khaki) though some are faded to a lighter OD#3 khaki looking color. We have a few belts left in-stock. Most are VG used showing use and fading. We have a couple of 1950 dated belts that are in unissued condition, but they have verdigris on the metal hardware. This can be cleaned off fairly well with alcohol, lighter fluid, WD40, etc on a rag or QTip. Mixed manufacturers and dates, but all are USGI Surplus. Learn More
