Canadian 1951 Pattern Waistbelt. It originally had a 1964 plastic buckle but this was replaced by a 1951 PAttern brass (blackened) buckle. Although the general design and the buckle was similar to the WE'37, the American influence is evident in the three rows of eyelets. The top and bottom rows were for the securing of equipment. The center row was for adjusting the size. The location and pattern of the rear buckles for attaching the braces were identical to those on the WE'37 waistbelt.
