    Description

    The 1903 leather equipment included a 9-pocket bandolier for cavalry. This is the scarce 9-pocket model, carefully recreated right down to the grained leather on the pockets. Each pocket holds two five round charger clips for .303 ammunition. It is made larger than originals to fit modern people.
    NOTE ON COLORING LEATHER:  The best method I have found after years of trials is to rub in brown shoe polish thorougly using a rag soaked in acetone.  This takes time, but it is the only way to get the beautiful reddish brown color of well-preserved originals.
