Can anyone confirm the nationality of this baton round / grenade bandolier? Is it British Army issue?
It was purchased with used/empty L5A7 1.5 Inch baton round cases, dated 2008, so they would most likely be the L5A7’s used in Iraq. The only photos I’ve seen of baton round guns in Iraq do not show how the rounds were carried.
The green nylon webbing has no labels or markings.
The plastic tubes have only a recycle PE symbol, moulded on the inside.
Each tube is attached to the webbing by two rivets only.
Olive green self adhesive velcro is stitched to the webbing flaps, and stapled to the tubes.
Rivets were made by Schaeffer. (This company appears to have been closed down in 2010)
The tubes would accept 1.5 Inch or 40mm casings.
