This is an original U.S. Army .30-40 Krag cartridge belt manufactured by Mills & Orndorff during the Spanish-American War period, circa 1898. Made of dark blue woven webbing, the belt features 45 cartridge loops designed to hold .30-40 Krag rifle ammunition. It is fitted with the distinctive brass "C"-clasp buckle and end tabs, which bear the Mills-Orndorff markings along with patent dates faintly visible on the hardware. The blue coloration identifies it as an infantry issue belt. These woven cartridge belts represented a significant improvement over traditional leather gear, offering greater durability and lighter weight. Issued to U.S. troops serving in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines during the Spanish-American War, belts like this were paired with the Krag–Jørgensen rifle, the standard U.S. service rifle at the time. This example shows light wear consistent with age but remains in strong, complete condition with no major fraying. A fine and increasingly scarce piece of American military history from the turn of the 20th century.
