    Almost looks like one of those stripper clip bandoliers for SKS's.

              I have a good number of those from back when Aussie 7.62 NATO was plentiful. Great bandoliers, about the best I've ever seen. I've even used one as a hidden wallet while traveling. Wish the pockets were big enough to hold my passport.

                  The Aussies recycled those bandoliers. I have some with three date stamps from the '60s. The older dates are xed out when the new date stamped next to it. Prob made a trip or two to the steamy jungles of Vietnam.

                    I think the champs at reusing bandoliers were the South Africans. I opened a can of 1960 dated ball that had some bandoliers remarked 3 times!

                    I still have 3 200 rd cans of Australian ball on bandoliers as purchased from the CMP way back when. I wish I had bought 3 more at least!

                            Looks identical to something I have. Only it's tan. Also has a "MK....something". Never knew what it was for. Fits shotgun rounds perfectly. Thats what I use it for.
