'Njckjc' - I am sure your bandoleer and Krag will impress!

(That is a very attractively priced piece of equipment from WPG).

FWIW - I have been unable to find out any more information on that type of bandoleer. I don't recall ever seeing one at a gun show. I've never handled one, just seen pictures.

Stephen Dorsey's book, "American Military Belts And Related Equipments", does not have an example of this piece of gear.

Mallory, "The Krag Rifle Story", 2nd edition, shows a picture of your type of bandoleer (page 159) and a photo of (Filipino) Macabebe Scouts with bandoleers (page 160).

Mallory wrote: "Woven bandoliers with complicated wire closures are also illustrated here, but no records have been found on these", (page 155).
