Sold: The ultimate cartridge belt?

[enfieldspares]

I took this some years ago as a part exchange when I was selling bits and pieces at a car boot sale. I think I'd left any commonsense at home that day! Anyway here it is presented by "Michael the Mannequin". Michael isn't included in the sale his other job is modelling shooting jackets for eBay. The belt will fit most waist sizes either beneath or over an sweater of coat and holds forty-eight 12 bore cartridges. I am told that it was Irish in origin by the man that passed it on to me. It's £35 posted by Royal Mail 2nd Class Recorded Delivery or Tracked 48.

The belt looks interesting, not too sure about Michael though!

Amazing. What size waistband is the best for? Thanks

Just don't trip and fall flat on your face if on the foreshore...you'll never get back up! Light a fallen French knight floundering in the mud at Agincourt.

From approx 38" to the far most hole which is 50".

£30 for a quick sale today, including the postage, so I can get it packed, wrapped and catch the post first thing tomorrow morning.

And give Michael an early bedtime and get him back up in the loft.

I found that it was a little difficult to get cartridges out of the lowermost row of loops in a hurry.

I will take her. Will look good with a sombrero. Thanks

I’m too late! That’s awesome for cartridges and game! I’m wondering if @GeoffWood could make something similar for 25 cartridges and a few steel eyelets to attach game loops to the front and rear at chest level?

I have had a PM from DORIC_PRINCE and replied with this. I await his reply. If he doesn't want it I'll respond again here on the thread. Going forward if you were to have one made I think there needs to be a better gap between the two rows of pockets.

I found that it wasn't easy to quickly get cartridges out from the lower set of pockets. If I was to keep it I would have actually cut off the lower two sets of pockets on each side. I works with 16 bore as they are, of course, loose. But I have just tried it with crimped true 65mm 12 bore cartridges in the lower sets of pockets and it is a PITA.

It's on its way tomorrow to D_P and he'll let me know when he has it if it suits his needs.

Thank you for your interest but it was sold, as noted, on 4 December. My apologies for not updating the listing header which I've now done.
