Bandoleer M1 Carbine for ammo stripper clips 1950s

The M-1 Carbine family utilized detachable 15 or 30 round box magazines that could be refilled anytime needed, unlike the en-bloc Garand clips. During World War II, M-1 Carbine ammo was issued in ten round stripper clips, packed into six-pocket bandoleers. Each pocket held two stripper clips, in a cardboard sleeve, for a total of 120 rounds per bandoleer. Typical markings on the bandoleeer would read, "CAL. 30 Carbine Ball M1 10 Rd Clips LC 13328".
