I've got some belts that I think are British or maybe Canadian but I'm not sure. I'm not aware of Canada using anything but links but just because I'm not aware of it doesn't mean it didn't happen.
The tabs are marked with a Fleur-de-lis (you guys didn't think I could spell that did you) which makes me think they're British. One other belt is marked as you can see in the pic and I'm pretty sure it's a Brit belt.
I'll may sell them but I need to make sure I know what they are first.
Any thoughts?



Pretty sure this is a Brit Belt...

I have one also and would like to know where it came from also, when I got it, it was filled with 30.06 from Sportsman guide. Was Canada still using 30.06 in 1969?

They are Canadian from a factory in Quebec. England didn't really use the browning or .30-06 (except in WW2 Lend-Lease guns from the US) they used the .303 Vickers until about 1969. My belts like this are too narrow though to use in my 1918 belt loader but if you have one of the homebuilt ones they'd be fine. And apperently they weren't still using .30-06 in 69 because we got ammo with our belts. :)
