Original era manufacture. A very well made belt of indeterminate age, with an original, black painted steel buckle. I have looked this belt over and over and can find no issue stamps, not a big deal, however the condition of the leather is such that I feel something should be visible somewhere.I purchased this belt thinking it to be an original example, the buckle certainly is (Nakatareplicas are brass), but in good faith we will offer it as replaced leather. The belt measures 43 inches in length,with the last adjusting hole measuring out at 39 inches.Typically original WWII Japanese enlisted belts are difficult to find in any condition, with rubberized examples usually encountered in the stiff-as-a-board condition. This one will certainly work well for display, andif I am wrong on the leather, you got yourself a good buy.
