Belt, Pistol, M-1936, Modified, Military Police

Genuine WWII US Army M1936 web pistol belt, issued to all personnel armed with handguns, carbines and submachine guns. The top row of grommets is intended for the suspenders hooks, the bottom row for securing various items of equipment thanks to special bent wire hooks.

This belt went through some interesting modification process, for the original buckle has been replaced with a brass assembly taken from some British belt. Moreover, the outer surface has been covered with a layer of white paint. Both elements tend to indicate that the present belt saw service in the Military Police in the ETO.

Quite good, worn condition.
