This was advertised as a 17th c european matchlock bandolier. I put it on discussion on teh european forum, but it was suggested that there is a strong possibility to be a non-european item, from a culture that was using matchlocks untill recently. Anyone recognise the style?

What a fascinating topic! I'll watch it with pleasure.
I will assume with caution that this item was made in the south of the Arabian Peninsula. |

Hi Eftihis,
Not a firm ID but wool stoppers were used in bandoliers from Afghanistan. One of your pics appears to show a wool stopper. Hopefully Rickystl will come in on this as I know he has several bandoliers of different origins. Stu |

Small defects and damages. dimensions: length circa 97 cm.

Stu is 100% right
and it's not the first time that I see an Afghan item listed as medieval or European renaissance. Please, look at mine. ![]() |

I agree with the participants who wrote that this belt is from Afghanistan.
