Pair WWI US Army M1910 Dismounted Cartridge Belts

A pair of original World War I US Army Model 1910 dismounted cartridge belts manufactured by the Mills Woven Cartridge Belt Company and L.C.C. & Company. These belts are constructed from heavy woven khaki cotton canvas and feature ten individual pockets, each designed to hold two five-round stripper clips of .30-06 ammunition for use with the M1903 Springfield and M1917 Enfield rifles. The belts are equipped with blackened brass and steel hardware, including the characteristic T-bar interlocking buckles and metal-rimmed grommets for the attachment of suspenders and field equipment. One belt displays clear markings on the interior adjustment tab with a bullet-shaped logo containing the word MILLS, dated JUNE 1918 with patent dates PAT JULY 16 07 and MAY 18 1915. The second belt is stamped L.C.C. & CO. in multiple locations, including stamps for LEFT 12-18 and L.C.C. & CO. 11-18 on the adjustment tabs.
