Manu Della Valle Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Rare LW tropical blue web belt with its original buckle!The buckle has a FP Nummer written on its tab but I cannot make out the number!It's a rare bird since it was made for a very short period between the first half of 1941 to the beginning of 1942!The Breadbag comes fromthe same area where it has been found a few years later!

DAK D Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi Manu, Thanks for sharing your super LW tropical belt and it is definitely a very rare tropical item to find today. The LW buckle looks good with the belt.... I love the LW tropical breadbag too. That is another rare item of kit indeed. D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manu Della Valle Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 A word of warning...many a tan web belt has been dyed blue by fakers!You can recognise them because you'll find the original colour were the dye hasn't reached the fibers!These belts can fetch crazy money and if you find one check it VERY CAREFULLY before ponying up your hard-earned!

Great buckle and belt, please remember to send it tracked when you post it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
