Original Item: Only One Available. Original issue Vickers Machine Gun belt from WWI dated 1918. Complete with early brass long dividers every third round. The function of the long dividers is to indicate how far the cartridge is supposed to be inserted in the belt. Each belt has a brass leader at each end, allowing the belt to be inserted from either end. The leaders are marked with the belt capacity (250 rounds), the caliber (.303), the Ordnance Broad Arrow, the manufacturers initials FFD and one leader is stamped with the date 1918.
The condition is very good, slight storage soiling is evident, no major defects. A Great War Vickers Gun is not complete without a traditional fabric and brass ammunition belt. What a find!
