Hi Philip, sorry the belt is not for sale, i do have plenty of spare fired and unfired cases but they are 48 -52 and 64s dated

Incidentally,what are these empty waff stamped links worth?
Ive found 5 sets in an empty ammo tin and they will be on sale at Beltring next week. :) not the tin though!) :p

Thanks Waff,your'e the man!,not sure about the price of these belts I picked mine up for sick squid last year on flea bay(slipped through the net!) and was rolled up in tube fashion,covered in thick grease and wrapped in brown 'vapour' paper.
Was a bit miffed when I opened and de-greased as I thought it was a later MG42/59 belt and would have not opened it if I'd known it was from WW2!

All the best
Tony

No worries Tony. :)
I have my handy 'Pawlas' Code-Buch next to the computer for such matters.
Are you going to Belty pal? If so,hook up with me at stall 7, row 'i'.
