I do not claim "Guru" status when it comes to the late 1800s wb gear, but I have looked at a bunch. There were several manufacturer's of web equipment leading into the Span/Am War. With the military being in shortage of many items, other "brands" were pressed into service, as I understand. I think that the Hulbert Brothers company made a lot of commercial belts, which were pressed into service. The belt hardware \was similar across the manufacturers, as well. I've not been able to find any definitive "history" on the topic of these belts, but the three horizontal lines in the Hulbert belt was kinda a trademark. The whole world of web belts, cartridge pouches, pistol holsters and other gear is and can be an whole different area of collector concentration aside from firearms.....and, in many way, very much more interesting and often mysterious, with a wide variety of variation in equipment. A Mills or Hulbert belt is neither all correct nor all incorrect for the Krag rifle/carbine.

I chose this particular belt because I wanted a belt to go with my rifles, but do not like the double rows. I don;t re-enact, so i don;t need 100 rounds on the belt. I may add a revolver holster and maybe even a repro Dyer pouch.
