Both original late war (1944) bandoliers - not tropical.

Value app. 600,- to 750,-U$ each IMO.

Hey Georgio! Nice baboleers. The reason ya can't find 'em on anybodys' site is because they are rare. I usually see the splinter pattern camo or blue ones in well used condition. I wouldn't ask less than a $1000 each on these 'cherrys'. Send home to Europe.

Here in europe those tan ones are the most common to be found. Followed by splinter. Blue ones are the rarest.

OK so you can still find this in Europe for 400 to 600 Euro?

not easy i think

Collector to Collector= One price
Dealer to Collector = Another price

If your one of the higher end dealers like B. Shea you would ask as Mike put it $1000. But lets be a little realistic its a $650 to $750 IMO and they are of the less rare types as Patrick said.

600 Euro is $900

Exactly the same here in the US. Bandoleers are available at most large shows.

Its rather the higher then the lower end of that estimate Giorgio

, especially in this nice condition, they will sell for 600 euro/900$ on every European show.

They seem to look good.
But for myself: this bandouliers were faked that often, I could not tell right from wrong.
For me it#s only original when I dug the out on a roof or attic in the dirt of 70 years. Even unissued pieces will not look that good.
STOCKO buttons were remanufactured in China.

Unissued items can even look better than these.

Bandoleers are not faked in a very convincing manner.
