How hard is it to pull out the shells?

Excellent job on recreating the picture as well. But your barrel is longer than his.

Thanks. They are held in firmly and won't fall out but pull out easy enough.

That's a very cool belt. Great job of re-creating it with the original clips. Thanks for the well-done explanation with photos. It was a good idea to use a tumbler to help clean them. Thumbs-up to this one!

Thank you. They went through several tumbles for a total of prob. 8-10 hours plus some rubbing with brasso and case cleaner. Wanted to clean them but not damage the pat dates on them.

Thanks Coffinmaker. I would not dream of cutting this one. Maybe on another but this one will stay long.

Nice work on both the restauration & the recreation!

Mr. Ebay currently has a similar canvas belt on offer for the slim-waisted & affluent cowpoke...:
