MODEL 1936 CARTRIDGE BELT SUSPENDERS – EARLY
PRE-WORLD WAR TWO PRODUCTION GREEN WEBBING – IN
EXCELLENT “LIKE NEW” CONDITION: This set of
Model 1936 Suspenders have a light green color,
indicative of these suspenders that were made either
before, or during the early years, of World War Two.
This set of suspenders presents in excellent “like new”
condition retaining a bright green color, exhibiting no
sign of having been issued, and no wear to the webbing
or to the metal fittings. The webbing is very clean
without any of the soiling or rust spots these sets
often have. The strap tips, hooks, “D” rings, slides,
and snap hooks are all present and intact and the pieces
to which a metal finish was applied still retain that
finish. There is an ink stamped maker's mark on one of
the straps, however not enough ink was applied to make
the mark legible.
While sets of these suspenders do show up on the market,
those available are normally the later production sets
manufactured of khaki colored webbing. This set was
made of the earlier green webbing, considerably scarcer
than are the later khaki sets. Overall, this is very
nice set in excellent condition and would be very
difficult to upgrade. (0601) $75
