tankengine888 Posted 23 September , 2023 Share Posted 23 September , 2023 Hello and Welcome to the Forum! Seems to be a Swedish Army Mauser Ammunition bandoleer by the looks of it Zidane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrEd Posted 23 September , 2023 Share Posted 23 September , 2023 This is a Swedish Mauser bandolier. Introduced in 1897 and can be worn as a bandolier and as a belt with suspenders. Was made and used right up until the 1980’s - the riveted and sewn construction is typical of later manufacture rather then pre-or Great War period (which were all sewn) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMB1943 Posted 23 September , 2023 Share Posted 23 September , 2023 Oldbenny, Welcome to the Forum. That bandolier looks to be in very good condition. What did you use to clean it up? Regards, JMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
