Original World War One magazine carrying belt for Browning Automatic Rifle Model 1918. Each belt carried two 20rd magazines per pocket with additional two pockets to carry 1911 mags. The belts originally had a steel cup attached to support the butt of the rifle when fired from the hip. That steel cup was impractical and was removed from many belts. This belt has the steel cup removed. Marked Long and dated 4-18 and 5-18.
