Full Description

This original WW2 British Pattern 1903 Lee Enfield 5 pocket bandolier is a genuine piece of military history.

Pattern 1903 Combat Heritage

This Mk II Pattern 1903 leather bandolier was originally designed after the Boer War to replace bulky pouches. Though replaced for frontline infantry by canvas webbing, South Africa continued making this leather version throughout WWII due to local supply chains. These wartime pieces were issued to second-line troops, airfield guards, and mounted units across the Commonwealth.

Ammunition Storage and Fit

The bandolier features five pocket compartments, each built to hold ten rounds of .303 ammunition in two five-round charger clips. Made from dark brown leather, the main strap is cut on a natural curve to fit comfortably over the left shoulder. Sturdy brass stud fasteners keep the pocket flaps secure, while a brass-buckled steadying strap attaches to your waist belt.

Grade 2 Military Surplus

As genuine surplus, these show heavy field use and storage wear. Expect tarnished brass, surface scratches, and minor repairs that add real character. This weathered leather gear is highly sought after by historical reenactors, vintage collectors, and bushcrafters looking for a rugged, unique utility strap to carry tools, fire steel, or small outdoor essentials.

Secure an original, field-worn piece of WWII history for your Commonwealth infantry display or vintage leather collection.
