Police Bandolier Parade Belt

[Librarius13]

Hello!!!
Is it possible to say from these photos whether this is the original or not?

Regards, Lib13.

Looks original to me. I have had ones with black as well as brown tabs to connect to the cartouche box, so I have always thought them to denote Schupo Officer or Gendarmerie Officer.

Many thanks!!!

I would agree that it's an original example

Thanks, Dave! Today I received it. Sorry, the photos were taken on the phone. In my hands I have the impression that it was used very little. There is an ink stamp "Hans Römer 1940 Neu-Ulm".

Looking even better I've seen that stamp a time or two on other original bandoleers and on a cartouche box. It's a parade item, many didn't see much use or hard use. Storage / display is usually the toughest on them over the years.
