M1 cartridge belt

I got as part of a trade for some guns a WW II era cartridge belt, green web belt with 10 canvas pouches. 8 of the pouches have the en bloc clip loaded with black tipped ammo headstamped LC 42, one other pouch has the en bloc clip loaded with ammo headstamped SL 56. It seems to me to be in pretty good shape, the pouches all snap closed and it is not too worn.
Is this worth anything? I plan on putting it on the classifieds if it is worth anything (to trade for bullets).

Thanks for any input.

Check out www.simpsonsltd.com Go to US militaria then web gear.

They have a number of belts for you to compare.

Might help.

The new Chinese made ones are $20.00 or so. If yours is in very good condition it should certainly be worth more than those.
