An impressive First World War leather artillery shell carrier with reinforced brass hooks and original leather handle.
Leather artillery shell carriers were practical and durable accessories used by military forces to transport artillery shells during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Designed to securely hold and protect the shells, these carriers often featured thick leather construction with metal fittings for added strength.
They were typically worn over the shoulder or attached to equipment, allowing for easier movement on the battlefield. The combination of functionality and craftsmanship in these carriers reflects the military's emphasis on efficiency and organisation during wartime operations.
