Hi Ward.
Thanks for these additional photos. There's those horn things again. Hmmm...
Now these look like they had some type of rope or twine inter-wrapped around them (?) I still

A real mystery.
Rick.

As long as we're talking Jazails, I'll post another today.

I found a couple more of this type in another pile of belts.

Ward, that must be one impressive box-o-belts you have!?

I got into collecting belts for a number of years. I think they are interesting. The brass chains on those things act as suspenders. Probably a idea copied off the British soldiers

Hi Ward.
Another really nice set!! And there's those horn things again. The possible use of those chains as suspenders or shoulder harness is something I never thought of. Yes, that makes sense. Thanks for posting and your comments.

All the accessory belts above make mine look like it's been scavaged!.

LOL.
Rick.

here is on of the piles I've got a sort thru and find a way to exhibit them.

LOL!!!!! Yet more projects. You may have to have me over to help "rumage" through the piles. On second thought, I can't even get all my projects done
