Offered here is a lot of four military ammunition bandoliers, including two olive-drab examples and two tan British-pattern canvas bandoliers. One olive-drab bandolier is marked "7.62 MM NATO BALL M80, 5 RD CLIPS, LOT TW 18509," identifying 7.6251mm NATO M80 ball ammunition packaged on five-round stripper clips, with TW indicating the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. Brass-cased, copper-jacketed rifle cartridges are visible in metal five-round stripper clips. The two tan bandoliers appear to be British Mk 3/1-pattern ammunition carriers, featuring five individual pockets, cotton carrying straps, and original copper-wire closures. One retains partially legible "RG" and "9-69" markings, consistent with Royal Ordnance Factory Radway Green and a probable 1969 packing date. Additional faded military markings include a circular "S" stamp and partially illegible manufacturer or inspection markings.
The bandoliers exhibit typical military surplus condition, with scattered discoloration, fading, staining, fraying, and general handling and storage wear. The two tan bandoliers retain their original copper-wire pocket closures and have not been opened for a complete inventory. The olive-drab examples show scattered signs of field use, with some fraying and wear along their edges and carrying straps. Exact ammunition quantities and the contents of the closed pockets have not been verified. The ammunition has not been tested or evaluated for firing safety and is offered in its present surplus condition as reloading components.
Please review all photographs carefully, as they are an important part of the description and condition assessment prior to bidding.
