WWI Era AEF US Army M1903 Mills Canvas Suspenders for Cartridge Belt - 1st Pattern - NICE Condition - RARE Up for sale is a set of WWI Era AEF US Army M1903 Mills Canvas Suspenders for the Cartridge Belt. These suspenders were used from the 1903 thru 1918. They are made of heavy duct canvas with blacken brass fittings. The suspenders are used, see photos for Condition. No rips or tears. Some minor soiling from prior usage. A couple fray spots. There are no visible markings or dates on the canvas. The buckles have the Mills patent date. The rear strap appears to be slightly different from the front straps, I suspect it is a replacement from another set of suspenders. Please see photos. Don't miss this opportunity to add these to your WWI Collection. The M1903 Suspenders were the 1st pattern suspenders that were used with the M1903 Cartridge Belt. These were ONLY produced by Mills.
