M 1949 Leather Belt with Hangers for Air Force Officer Dagger, dated 1949.
This type was manufactured only until 1952, at which point it was replaced by a
much cheaper to produce belt in braided brown cotton. This belt is of very early
Soviet manufacture, as opposed to some other belts of this type that were made in
Soviet-occupied Germany as part of war reparations. Extremely scarce piece in
excellent condition, complete with all of its brass hardware.
Army / Air Force dress belt for a full dress / parade uniform of a Full Colonel, 1960s-80s. Featuring gold brocade of the same quality as Generals / Admirals belts, it was used only by full colonels, whereas lower ranking officers used belts in softer gold cloth. XXL size (will fit up to 50" waist), EXC condition.
Army / Air Force officer full dress belt with dagger hangers, dated 1982.
Unusually large size, will fit up to XXXL (50") waist, adjustable to almost
any smaller size. Excellent condition. This type of belt was used very sparingly
after the 1958 change in uniform regulations and is much less common than the
similar naval officer belt.
Army enlisted man belt in genuine leather, c. 1970s - early 1980s. Fits up to 42"
waist, easily adjustable to smaller sizes. This "Deluxe" model was issued to EM
and NCOs serving in elite "showcase" units or deployed abroad in Warsaw Pact
countries such as East Germany. Far scarcer than the standard issue Soviet EM /
NCO belts in cheap ersatz leather. EXC condition.
