Old cartridge belt identification--help

Member Posts: 251 ✭✭✭
Good morning. I am looking for some assistance identifying this cartridge belt. It appears to be a Mills product, possibly from the 1880's, however I cannot locate an exact match in my internet research, so I am turning to the experts here.
It is khaki in color, approx 42" long, and is marked with a #"2" on the inside of the belt. I cannot locate any other marking, on the belt or buckle. See the pix below.
Any assistance with what I actually have would be appreciated.
Thanks. Mike

Mine is similar is color and design. Mine does not have the brass metal clips at the end of the material, just a stitched hem. The only other hardware, the clips around the belt near the buckle are round wire. The buckle is thick.
I have reset this question, with pix, post in a new topic posting

I think back in the day there were many small contractors producing limited runs on low bid, but yours should should be from that same time frame and for the same purpose.
