RARE British WW1 Pattern 1908 Carriers, cartridge Economy Issue'08 webbing L

  
Carriers, cartridge, 75 rounds (4th, or "Economy" Issue). Date and maker is very hard to read but looks like 1915, in good ORIGINAL condition. A hard bit of webbing to find. I have also listed the Right side on another listing, the two did not come together but would make nice near matching set. Heres the extract relating to it from KARKEEWEB.

No official nomenclature is positively known, but a spare candidate is Carriers, cartridge, 75 rounds, experimental. It is, in collectors terms, the 4th Issue of Carriers.

In this variation the snap fastener spigots have been replaced by simple brass studs, and the fastener crowns by "buttonholes". We haven't yet found any official documentation authorising this change, but it must exist. Other than this economy measure, these Cartridge carriers are constructed in the normal fashion. We are unsure as to exactly when this modification was introduced, and have read reports of this type of Carrier dated as early as 1915. In good original condition, please view the images to see the condition of the item, it is as you can see missing one of the studs.
