Original WWII US M1923 Garand Cartridg Belt 1942 2-Tone Transitional M1911 Pouch For Sale

Up for sale is an original, 100% authentic WWII US Army M1923 Cartridge Belt for the M1 Garand rifle, complete with an attached M1911 .45 pistol magazine pouch. This belt features the highly desirable \"transitional\" or \"two-tone\" pattern common in 1942-1943, blending early-war light khaki/tan pocket flaps over the darker olive drab bases. Maker Markings:
The inner flap features a clear factory stamp reading \"HEARSE MFG. CO.\" (or similar period manufacturer) and is clearly dated 1942. The pistol pouch features a crisp \"U.S.\" stencil on the front. Condition Notes (Please Read & See Photos):
The belt shows honest field wear and age-related weathering. There is one significant flaw: a complete tear across the canvas hinge fabric on one of the main pocket flaps (clearly shown in the close-up photos). All other flaps, snaps, eyelets, and hardware are intact and functional. The belt has NOT been repaired, cleaned, or altered, preserving its historical integrity as a combat-worn artifact. Perfect addition for a WWII combat display or a collectors\' reference piece!
