Unidentified Candian Belt 1920's ?

I recently acquired this belt with a uniform that I believe is from the Canadian Militia from possibly the 1920's. I have tried identifying the belt through several sources but come up empty.

Peter..
I doubt very much that this is military..
It is a civilian kidney belt ,common with ridgid frame motor cycle riders from the '50's and '60's..
Made by local non commercial leather worker..
Common enough when I started riding in that era,but not seen today as much with the soft tail bikes these days...
:drunk::remember

Rob is right..The smilies keep changing positions and the "Support our troops "
smilie is now missing ,which was there on a posting I did a few minutes ago...

I see the Support Our Troops icon ... look beside the hopping kangaroo ;)
(if it was gone earlier, it's back now ;) )

I see Geoff must have got rid of the Witch though :D

Okay ... I take it back as the smilies/icons are jumping around and completely away and all I can think of at the moment is perhaps the box only allows showing a certain number of them at a time and most recent used bumps to the top of the line or something?

Sorry for highjacking your belt thread, just wanted to comment re the forum functions as its new for us all starting today!!!
