C Broad arrow belts
Harry,
I was at the Calgary gun show looking at webbing a guy was selling and he had a C Broad arrow marked belt with a price of $260.00 on it.At first I walked away thinking he was crazy but my curiosity got the better of me and on my next walk around I asked him why he was asking so much for the belt and he told me any Canadian marked belt was going for that price.I still didn't believe it and wrote it off but since then,every Canadian belt I see on ebay now I put it in my watch list,including this one to see what it sells for and they have all been sold for over $200.00.I haven't taken note what the sizes were so maybe it is the larger sizes that fetch more money.I will have to take note what size the next one is I watch to see if the smaller sizes get the same money.I sure wouldn't want to try and put a set of Canadian 37 Pattern webbing nowadays!
Derk.
