Historical reference.

This belt design was used by privates of the RIA (Russian Imperial Army) and the Red Army (Workers 'and Peasants' Red Army) throughout the first half of the 20th century. The years of adoption of this belt for supplying the army: 1881, 1914, 1935. The design is simple and reliable.

During the 2nd World War, leather belts began to be replaced with combined or completely tarpaulin belts. The original belts of the Red Army vary widely in color and processing. Usually assembled firmly, but not neatly.
