Design:
Material: The M1936 Pistol Belt was made from olive drab (OD) cotton webbing, which was a durable and rugged material suitable for military use.

Adjustable Length: The belt was designed to be adjustable in length, allowing it to fit a range of waist sizes. The adjustable length made it versatile for different soldiers and wearing conditions.

Buckle Closure: The belt featured a metal buckle closure system. The buckle allowed for easy fastening and unfastening, making it practical for quick adjustments in the field.

Attachment Points: The belt had multiple attachment points and eyelets along its length. These attachment points were used to secure additional gear and equipment, including ammunition pouches, canteens, and other essential items.

Use:
Role: The M1936 Pistol Belt served as a foundational part of a soldier's web gear, providing a means to carry essential items and gear.

Compatibility: It was used by soldiers who were not armed with the M1 Garand rifle or the Browning Automatic Rifle (B.A.R.), as these weapons had their own specific belts for carrying ammunition.

Adjustment and Sizing:
Up to 48 Inches: The belt was adjustable in length, accommodating waist sizes up to 48 inches. This adjustability allowed soldiers to wear the belt comfortably over various types of uniforms and gear.
