Military medicine early in WW1 had changed little in the 50 years since the American Civil War. As the war progressed, advances on the battlefield led to advances in medical treatment, beginning with well trained and equipped medics rendering immediate attention to wounded men. Medics used a wide array of supplies, carried in the specially designed M-1910 medical corpsman belt. This US Army WW1 Mills M-1910 Khaki Medical Corpsman Belt is in Very Good Condition, with a very small frayed hole in the front left pocket flap (near but not under the lift-the-dot), moderate tearing to the top left corner of the back left pocket flap, some brownish and dark soiling to that back left pocket flap, some light scattered verdigris, brownish, and dark spot soiling throughout, and with some light overall age wear evident. Most interestingly, it boasts fully functional darkened brass “lift-the-dot" closures on the 10 pockets throughout, sports a fully intact darkened brass front buckle, and is stamped at the interior left front with the classic “bullet” maker’s logo of the famous “MILLS”, along with the manufacturing date, “DEC. 1917”. It’s marked on the interior sizing ends with that same “bullet” maker's logo, as well as several patent dates, and is a fine example of a rare, original US Army WW1 Mills M-1910 Khaki Medical Corpsman Belt. Lastly, this belt comes directly from the personal collection of renowned US military firearms author and historian Bruce Canfield, and a signed letter of authenticity stating as such will accompany this piece.
