Ypres1915 Posted 25 January , 2020 Share Posted 25 January , 2020 (edited) A friend of mine has this belt he is trying to sell and I am considering purchasing it. He asked me what it was and I am stumped! Looks British manufacture and may be Naval based on the number of rivets? Any ideas?

GRANVILLE Posted 26 January , 2020 Share Posted 26 January , 2020 Can we see a photo of the other side of it. I'm assuming there must be part of it missing? David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joolz Posted 29 January , 2020 Share Posted 29 January , 2020 Is it - possibly - for carrying a musical instrument of some kind - a drum? something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RegHannay Posted 30 January , 2020 Share Posted 30 January , 2020 No sorry, just going by memories. Pretty sure something similar was still being used in the 70s for holding marlin spike and the old chunky seaman's clasp knife (could be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
