I wonder if anyone can identify this belt. A mate of mine picked it up years ago in Alma barracks in Blackdown. It's a bit of a mystery. It has a 37 pattern clasp but the material is not the same as 37, it's much softer. The pouch looks just the right size for a pistol mag and looks like it's had something oily kept in it. The press studs are different from that found on US kit. Any ideas?

Looking a bit sorry for itself Mac. Wonder when it last ran? Good luck with the restore.

Going well Marvin. Hard work but it'll be a cracker when it's finished.

I managed to find pics of RN issue moneybelts and though they are slightly similar, the part where the money is kept is quite flat, for notes or coins. The pouch on the unknown belt is much bulkier.
I did find this whilst trawling the net today, The badges are attached to a belt which, though it has a different buckle, is made of the same light canvas and has an identical brass slide. The badges are described as being from WW1 and I wonder if the belt might date from that period. The only fly in the ointment is the press stud on the unknown one which I don't think was around then.
