Hi forum

I have a strange M1894 Mills & Orndorff Ammo belt :
Mills and Orndorff adjustement hooks with usual Aug,26:67 to Sep.11:94 patents.
Classical standard light tan web construction with brass keepers and "C" clasp, but the belt has only one-row 40 loops for .30 rounds (I know about 50 or 100 rounds loops belts, but not only 40).

An early model or a belt for mounted troops?
Any idea?

Thank you in advance,
Francois

Your belt may have been made for sporting purposes. Mills belts were made for civilian use and most hunters don't want to carry excess quantities of ammunition. A photograph would help to identify the belt.
