Hi all,
Not something within my sphere of collecting, but I've been looking for a genuine fabric ammo belt for a German MG08 as part of a small display of First war items I have. I have the ammo box but would like a belt of inert rounds to set it off.
I have found (I think) an MG08 belt for sale, albeit with a repair, but it looks very similar to a Vickers belt? I know MG08 belts are hard to come by, so need to differentiate between the two types to make sure I'm not committing to the wrong type of belt. (It's not cheap....)
Any pointers, or things to look out for would be much appreciated as my knowledge in these things is minimal.
Many thanks in advance!
