    I thought this was a cartridge belt for an M1 Garand when I bought this but it turns out to be from WWI. Apparently it was made for the Enfield which has 5 round clip.
    Quick note here that by clips it hold stripper clips which is different from a magazine. The term "clip" is often confused with "magazine" probably more so than blood grooves and death stands. That and green Vaseline glass.
    I missed getting a photo of the end that says....
    Patented Mills July 16'07
    May 18'15
    Thus I think it was made My 18 1915.
    It was made by Mills Woven Cartridge Belt Co in Worcester, Mass USA.
    M1 Garand clips fit in the pouches so it may have possibly seen WWII action but that is a weak maybe.
