PROJECTS IN THE WORKS
The buckle is blackened brass as
originally specified, although most originals
buckles were eventually polished. Belts come in a
maximum length to last adjustment hole of 38, 42 or
48 inches. Please specify your preference. Belts
copy original markings, but with inspector initials
of WPG. As always, I guarantee satisfaction. And,
for the dolt who always has to ask, the belt is made
of leather. $32.00
M1904 Belt Adapter
for Springfield or Krag Bayonet. For
duties not in the field, soldiers normally wore the
leather garrison belt instead of the Mills web
cartridge belt when under arms. It was normally worn
by dismounted soldiers with the M1905 bayonet and
scabbard, and the M1904 McKeever cartridge pouch.
WPG offers this reproduction just as they were
originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet
leather. The leather will darken over time with
exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. This
adapter copies original markings, but with inspector
initials WPG. $9.00 US WWI Trouser Belt. This is the same as the M1904 Mills trouser belt, but with simplified hardware for wartime production. These are available in either 42 or 48 inch size. $15 Army Officer's Hat Cord. New reproduction of the standard gold and black hat cord worn on the campaign hat by all officers other than generals. There are many, many variations on this hat cord. Mine is typical of those worn in the 1930's. $12 (Pictured at middle in picture to the left) Army Enlisted Hat Cords, Cavalry or Infantry, reproductions, $9 (Blue Infantry cords are OUT OF STOCK)
Mills M1912
Cavalry Bandolier. A fantastic recreation of
this rare bandolier. Weaving is copied exactly,
with double woven bottoms on pockets. All Mills
markings copied including the stamping on the
belt tip. Eagle snaps on all pockets. $125

M1911 Campaign
Hat. Officially known as "Hat, Service."
This is a very high quality reproduction of the
earliest model of the Montana Peak style
campaign hat adopted in 1911. It is made of 10X
quality Nutria fur, with a high quality
sheepskin sweatband and all details as authentic
as I can get them. This model was equipped with
a shoelace chinstrap, and has no provision for
attaching a leather chinstrap without cutting
the brim (as was often done). This hat will last
through many years of hard campaigning. Sizes 7
1/8 till 7 1/2 $298

1906 Entrenching Tool. The
first pattern of the short T-handle entrenching
tool, adopted around 1906, had no reinforcing metal
on the back side of the handle. Very few exist
because this weakness led to frequent breakage. WPG
has recreated this rare shovel for the benefit of
collectors interested in pre-WWI equipment. $32

Mills M1910 Canvas Dispatch
Case. The Mills Equipment Company made a canvas
and web version of the M1910 Dispatch Case. It was
lighter and easier to use than the leather version,
and seems to have been popular as a private purchase
item. During WWI it may have been purchase by the
Army as a substitute item, and was definitely issued
after WWI, but with Lift-The-Dot fasteners replacing
the Eagle Snaps. This reproduction copies all the
details of the original.$35

M1912 Picket Pin. This
picket pin was the most successful of the 1912
experimental equipment for cavalry, as it was used
until the end of the horse cavalry in 1943. WPG's
reproduction is machined from solid steel to last
several lifetimes. $45

M1904 Pistol Ammo Pouch.
This is a new recreation of the russet leather ammo
box for revolver ammo adopted around 1904. It is
identical to the pattern used through the 1890's;
only the color was changed. With the re-introduction
of .45 caliber revolvers, the wooden block in the
pouch was removed to accomodate the larger
ammunition. This pouch has 1 3/4 inch belt loops to
fit on the M1904 garrison belt. $25
Add to Cart
M1904 Sword Knot With the
switch to russet colored leather, the Army needed
all new leather equipment. This sword knot was
adopted around 1904, and is much more intricate than
previous models. It was used on the M1860 and M1906
Cavalry Sabers until replaced by the M1913 Patton
Sword. $25

US Army M1904 Leather Garrison and
Saber Belt. This is a new reproduction from WHAT
PRICE GLORY of the leather garrison belt adopted by
the US Army around 1904, during the conversion from
black to suset leather.
The garrison belt was worn
with very few changes until 1942. This belt could be
worn with a variety of accessories for either
mounted or dismounted duties. I am offering this
reproduction just as they were originally issued, in
vegetable tanned un-dyed russet leather. The leather
will darken over time with exposure to saddle soap,
oil and polish.
US
Army M1904 Holster for .38 Revolvers. This is a
new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the
leather M1904 holster that was used with all .38
caliber revolvers issued between 1892 and 1909. It
copies all details accurately right down to the
keyhole shaped opening on the closure flap. The only
shortcoming is that the leather tiedown thong is
cowhide leather not elk hide as specified in
regulations. I am offering this reproduction just as
they were originally issued, in vegetable tanned
undyed russet leather. The leather will darken over
time with exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish.
This holster copies original
markings, but with inspector initials WPG. As
always, I guarantee satisfaction. And, for the dolt
who always has to ask, leather items are made of
leather. $48.00

Army M1904 Leather and Brass Saber Hanger. This
is a new reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the
saber hanger adopted by the US Army around 1904,
during the conversion from black to suset leather.
This is the enlisted version of the saber hanger,
which does not have hooks to attach to the saber. It
could be worn on a variety of Mills web cartridge
belts fitted with a saber chape, or it could be worn
on the M1904 leather garrison belt with the brass
adapter slide The garrison belt adapter slide is
included with this saber hanger. The garrison belt
shown in the photo is for illustration only and is
NOT included in this offering.
I am offering this reproduction just as they were
originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet
leather. The leather will darken over time with
exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. The metal
is blackened brass as originally specified, although
most originals were eventually polished. Hangers
copy original markings, but with inspector initials
of WPG. $35.00

M1912 Cavalry Intrenching Tool Carrier. This is
a new reproduction of an unissued condition "Intrenching
Tool Carrier" for the M1912 Shovel, Axe, or Pick
head. It is made in natural leather just like an
original unissued one, and will darken in time with
exposure to air, light and oils. This is the case
only and does not include any intrenching tool. Also
not included is the nail pouch. This carrier is a
very tight fit when new and initially will take some
effort to get closed with the tool head inside. I
recommend using the picket pin handle to help force
the head into the very bottom of the carrier.

Leather Belt Frog for Holster. This is a new
reproduction from WHAT PRICE GLORY of the leather
belt frog adopted in 1912 for use with the M1911
pistol holster. This frog would normally be worn on
the M1912 garrison belt, along with the M1912 pistol
holster and magazine pouch. Enlisted men were also
issued a leather clip pouch for M1903 Springfield
ammo. All these accessories are available from WPG.
I am offering this reproduction just as they were
originally issued, in vegetable tanned undyed russet
leather. The leather will darken over time with
exposure to saddle soap, oil and polish. There are

the leather magazine pouch adopted in 1912 for use

construction in all details including the blackened

M1904 Marching Shoe. New reproduction of
this very rare field boot issued from 1904 to
1917. Though replaced by the M1917 Shoe, many
doughboys were still wearing these in France in
1917. This run of repros has some minor cosmetic
flaws: 1) the cloth pull-on loop at the back of
the shoe is missing, and 2) there is a WWII QM
contract stamp on the inside. These flaws don't
show when worn, but WPG is blowing them out a
reduced price.

US Pre-WWI First Aid Packet. Reproduction of the early olive drab painted brass First Aid Packet. Based on the earliest samples I could find, the Army packet is dated 1908, and the Navy/USMC packet is dated 1915. Contents are not authentic. $15

US Pre-WWI Trouser Belt. Reproduction Mills web trouser belt for US Army uniforms. I am not sure when these were adopted, but Mills patent date is 1904. These were replaced in 1938 by a wider belt. This reproduction faithfully copies all markings of the buckle and tip, include Mills bullet logo. These are available in either 42 or 48 inch size. $15
M1911 style Campaign Hat with 5 row stitching. I have replicated the most commonly found style without lace chinstrap and with eyelets added for leather chinstrap. $60
Campaign Hat, 1930's Style. Sometime after WWI, the issue "Hat, Service" lost the 5 rows of stitching on the brim, and the felt thickness increased slightly. This reproduction models the last version of the campaign hat as issued from the 1930's into WWII. During this time the Service Hat was standard uniform in all overseas departments (Alaska, Philipines, Hawaii, Panama) as well as for all mounted soldiers. Sizes 7 1/8 to 7 3/4. $45
Campaign Hat Chinstrap. Brown leather adjustable chinstrap for the M1911 campaign hat. This is the fancy adjustable model that most soldiers purchased privately, with leather loops to attach to the hat cord. New reproduction, $12 (Pictured at top in picture to the left)
M1916 Pullover Wool Shirt. In 1916 the Army modified the olive drab wool shirt with the addition of pocket flaps. This is the shirt that served American soldiers through the Mexican campaign and WWI, and was not replaced until 1937. This is a very high quality reproduction in 100% wool flannel (no cheesy polyester blends used here). Very limited production of only 80 shirts. Chest sizes 42-52. $85

.45 Auto Pistol Magazine Pouch. Standard WWI production, two-LTD snap mag pouch. Unissued. $15
M1905 Pistol Lanyard. This is a reproduction of the first lanyard issued by the US Army. Originally intended for the .38 revolver, it was also used on the M1909 .45 revolver, and on the M1911 .45 automatic until replaced in 1917. This is the lanyard used during the 1916 Mexican campaign. The hook does not fit well on the M1911, which may be the reason for a lanyard loop on early magazines for that pistol. $22
M1917 Pistol Lanyard. This lanyard was developed because the M1905 lanyard, designed to fit revolvers, did not fit the M1911 pistol well (some think this is the reason for the lanyard loop on early magazines). It was issued from 1917 through WWII, although supplemented later by issue of the M1942 lanyard. This is another museum quality reproduction. $22
