Description:
The first of the pocketed cartridge belts developed for the new Model 1903 Springfield Rifle, this early excellent condition, specimen of the Model 1903 Cartridge Belt, 1st pattern, is identified by the presence of the full width brass belt tips which bear the Mills Woven Belt Company patent dates "PAT. JAN29, 1901, MCH. 29, 1904, MCH 29, 1904.". The Mills Equipment Co. and the Russell Mfg. Co. were the only contractors to manufacture these belts. This is a Mill’s with the brass fittings marked, features woven canvas construction, 9 pockets with beautiful rimless ‘ball-and-socket’ snap closures (The snaps bearing the U.S. Army eagle) adjustable ends and ‘T’ buckle closure. The metal belt ends with three rivets make this a 1st Pattern belt (The 2nd Pattern has four rivets) which dates it from 1906-1907 prior to being replaced by the M1907 dismounted cartridge belt. This example is marked "306th Cavalry Regiment, Troop G, 12" and IC, At the turn of the 20th century (roughly 1890&1910) in the United States Army Cavalry, "IC" stamped on equipment stood for "Inspected and Condemned". This is a remarkable example and would add to any collection.;
