This is an exceptional example of a Pre-World War I U.S. Army M-1910 Canvas Cartridge Belt, featuring the distinctive "eagle snap" closures and designed to carry .30-06 Springfield ammunition in both rimless and rimmed clip configurations. These early M-1910 belts were manufactured during a critical transition period in U.S. military gear development and represent one of the first standardized load-bearing systems adopted across all service branches. The eagle snaps are an iconic hallmark of pre-WWI issue belts, and this particular example has all ten pouches intact, with the original khaki webbing showing honest service wear and patina that adds to its authenticity and character.

Collectors and living history enthusiasts alike will appreciate the historical significance and hard-to-find configuration of this belt. Issued just prior to America's entry into WWI, these belts were used extensively by Doughboys and remained in use into the early years of WWII. This model is specifically designed for use with the M1903 Springfield rifle, and the rimmed/rimless designation reflects the Army’s attempt to accommodate variations in clip design. If you’re building out a U.S. infantryman’s kit, curating a display, or simply want a piece of genuine U.S. military history, this Pre-WWI Eagle Snap M-1910 Cartridge Belt is a rare and exciting find!
