Unless this is a Spam-Am war belt, this one is a little unusual in that it is very wide and has extra space at the ends.  Not sure of any other way to describe it.  Some of the ‘extra space’ is the adjustable sizing.
This cartridge belt is a one piece instead of the common two-piece design.
It is a little dirty from age and use but there are no tears.  Some verdigris that should clean up but otherwise in good condition.
Large stamp on the back with the unit but we are not sure how to read it.  It says ‘5 G’ but I don’t think they mean the current cellphone service.  It looks like crossed cannons and something below that is unreadable and below that is US.
