    Looks like you have a Cartridge Belt, M1923. Info from the internet :

    The Model 1923 cartridge belt was adopted when stocks of the M-1910 belt were exhausted after World War I, designed as part of the infantryman's load carrying system, anchoring the M-1910 haversack and later the M-1928 infantry pack. It provided ten pockets for clips of .30-caliber ammunition for the M-1903 Springfield, M-1917 Enfield, and later M1 Garand rifle. The M-1903 and M-1917 rifles using 5 round stripper clips (two per pocket, total of 100 rounds) while the M1 Garand used a single eight shot clip per pocket (total 80 rounds).

    That isn't a M1923. The M1923 is a completely different system with "keeper loops"/webbing on the back rather than hooks of the M1910, but the belt itself looks like it was patterned after the M1923 with a hooking tab replacing the flat tab. I don't see any markings in the pictures, but that looks like something based mostly on the M1910 system, yet from what I've seen, the M1910 grommets don't line up like that, but ??? I will not guess what it is, but I can say or at least guess what it is not: it is not an M1923 and I'm going to guess that there are no original US M1910 parts involved.

    I do not know but it is 9 pocket instead of 10 , It is definitely military stitched , and parts from tow types of cartridge belts .

    I'm not sure what you mean by "military stitched," but you are likely correct in that it is likely made of parts from other belts. Keep in mind that the US military didn't make web gear - it was contracted to a wide variety of civilian shops, so a person with a commercial sewing machine could duplicate what was actual issue gear. As an aside, I'm like the guy with big beard on the pawn shop show - I'm not commenting one way or the other on monetary value, simply making historical observations.

    Don;t know why someone would take the time and trouble to take parts from two belts to make one with 9 pockets but anyway still for sale with offers open .
