M39 Swedish Mauser Antique Leather 5 Pouch Bandolier Belt These ammo belts were introduced in around World War I and are typical of the quality the Swedish Army provided their citizen soldiers and militia century until World War 2. The ammunition belt was manufactured from well-tanned, russet leather and heavily stitched and riveted to last under hard usage. It has five pockets measuring 3" x 4" x 2"each designed to hold five clips of 6.5 mm Swedish Mauser ammunition on five round stripper clips for a total of 125 rounds. The pockets have green canvas gussets on the side to allow for expansion. Each of the pocket flaps are held shut with a leather strap riveted to the bottom of the ammunition belt at the back and threaded through a slit in the front of the pocket. Each strap has two slits that could be slipped over a steel button riveted to the flap. A brass keeper was fastened with two brass rivets to the right side (when worn). A long leather strap was riveted and sewn to the left side. A frame buckle of brass with the tongue on the outside rather than the inside ledge, similar to those used on the rifle slings but larger, was attached and clipped to the tongue on the right. The ammunition pouch was designed to be worn about the waist with the pockets in front but could be rigged to be worn across the chest. Two square frame buckles held by two leather keepers were riveted to the inside back. These served as attaching points for suspenders to relieve the weight of the belt about the waist. The Sand People used these bandoleers in the original Star Wars movies or Tusken Raiders well as the Jawas and the desert equipped Storm Troopers.
