Pattern 1903 Bandoleer Equipment Belt Frog. L260. Pattern 1903 Bandoleer Equipment Belt Frog. L260.

In the late 19th Century the Volunteer Battalions of regiments purchased their equipment through the Territorial Associates. The brown leather Slade-Wallace equipment was frequently only loosely based on the official patterns and produced by private contractors. In 1903 the new brown leather Bandoleer equipment was introduced to replace the Slade-Wallace buff leather. This is a brown leather frog similar to the G.S. MKI with tooled edges and brass buckle, many of this type were made to carry the P 1888 & P 1903 bayonets . This example is in very nice condition with all stitching and metalwork intact. See No 101 on pages 26 & 27 of Bayonet Belt Frogs Part 1 by Anthony Carter for reference. The price for this scarce item includes UK delivery. L 260.
