Description: YOU ARE PURCHASING: A RARE ORIGINAL WW2 USMC M1936 PISTOL BELT THAT COMES WITH A WW2 DATED 1943 CANTEEN AND 1943 DATED CANTEEN CUP. THE CANTEEN AND CUP COME WITH A USMC P 3 CROSS FLAP CANVAS CANTEEN COVER. THE MARINE'S NAME---TOM MURRAY---IS HANDWRITTEN ONTO BOTH THE CANTEEN COVER AND THE PISTOL BELT. THE PISTOL BELT IS STAMPED IN THE INTERIOR WITH THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR'S NAME SAM FROEHLICH COMPANY (AS DESIGNATED BY THE LETTERS S.F. CO.). DIRECTLY BELOW THAT IS THE MAKER DATE 1942. TO THE LEFT OF THAT IS STAMPED U.S.M.C. IN LARGE LETTERS. . THE BELT IS IN GOOD USED CONDITION WITH NO TEARS OR REPAIRS TO THE CANVAS. THERE ARE NO LOOSE STITCHES AND ALL HARDWARE INCLUDING THE 2 BELT KEEPERS, THE WEBBED "T" CLOSURE AND THE DOME SNAP FOR THE MAGAZINE POCKET ARE ALL PRESENT AND WORKING PROPERLY. THE CANTEEN COVER IS A WW2 USMC 3RD PATTERN P 3 TYPE. IT COMES WITH LONG DOG-EAR STYLE FLAPS THAT WERE DESIGNED TO BETTER SECURE THE CANTEEN FROM COMING OUT OF ITS CASE WHEN THE SOLDIER WAS MARCHING OR RUNNING.. IN ADDITION THERE IS A 1 INCH DRAINAGE HOLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE COVER (AKA THE "FUNNEL"). THIS HOLE WOULD ALLOW THE COVER TO BE USED AS A FUNNEL TO MINIMIZE WATER WASTE.WHEN BEING FILLED. THIS COVER HAS SEEN QUITE A BIT OF FIELD USAGE BUT SHOWS NO TEARS OR REPAIRS. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL HARDWARE IS PRESENT AND FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THERE IS SOME LOOSENING OF THREAD STITCHING AS WELL AS SOME FRAYING ON THE WEBBING THAT HOLDS THE M1910 BELT HOOK (SEE LAST PHOTO). THE CANTEEN IS DATED 1943 AND MADE BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR VOLLRATH. IT IS COMPLETE WITH CANTEEN CAP, CORK AND CAP CHAIN. THE CANTEEN HAS A FEW VERY MINOR DENTS BUT OVERALL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THE CANTEEN CUP IS LIKEWISE DATED 1943 AND IS MADE BY GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR M. A. CO. IT IS ALSO IN GOOD CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT SURFACE SCRATCHING. THESE USMC MARKED WW2 M1936 PISTOL BELTS HAVE BECOME VERY SCARCE AND ARE IN GREAT DEMAND. FINDING ONE THAT IS FAIRLY CLEARLY MARKED AND IN SUCH GOOD CONDITION IS AN EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TASK. THE ADDITION OF A NICE WW2 CANTEEN, CUP AND CROSS FLAP COVER COMBO WOULD MAKE THIS AN EXCEPTIONAL ADDITIONAL TO ANY WW2 USMC COLLECTION. WEIGHT: 2 LB., 7 OZ.
