Description
Reproduction of the wartime M/30 leather belt for enlisted men and NCOs.
These belts have been made according to original 1941 manufacturing instructions. The M/30 belts were originally made with brass buckles and stitching but the usage of nickel plated steel buckles and riveting was allowed from 1941 onwards. The leather color, quality and thickness requirements were also gradually lowered leading to the war, and in 1941 thickness was down below 3 mm.
These belts are made of 3 mm thick cowhide. The belts are 45 mm wide, have rounded edges and two embossed lines running along both edges. The buckle is brass or nickel plated steel and stitched by hand with cotton cord or riveted with copper rivets. There is a leather pad under the buckle. The belts have two belt loops: one permanently fastened near the buckle and another free floating. The end of the belt is tapered and the size of the belt is stamped near the end. There are seven holes for adjusting the length. See the Size table tab above for sizing information.
