The Canadian 1937 Pattern cartridge carriers were distinctive as they used a pleated design rather than the reduction weaving used on British made examples. The Canadian factories lacked the looms to make this reduction weaving, but by using pleats the same effect could be achieved and the cartridge carriers worked in the same manner as those produced elsewhere in the Empire. The most common version to find is that in khaki webbing as used by the army, but a version in blue-grey for the Royal Canadian Air Force was also produced: 

The front of the carriers shows the plain snaps used to secure the top flaps for each pocket, as well as the folds used to create the expansion needed to carry the chargers of ammunition: 

Opening the top flaps shows the internal tabs used to prevent the loss of ammunition form the cartridge carriers: 

The fittings on the vertical strap are made of the distinctive Canadian ‘battle brass’ with its brown-green colour: 

The rear of the carriers shows the brass c-hooks used to connect to the belt together with the markings in black ink: 

The markings have the /|\ within a ‘C’ acceptance mark used by the Canadian military and the initials ZL&T Ltd for Zephyr Loom and Textile: 

RCAF webbing is not common in the UK, with the holsters being the easiest items to find so these cartridge carriers are definitely one of the harder items of Canadian webbing to find for the collection.
