Swedish Leather Ammo Belt
The second bandoliers worn by the Tusken Raiders in Episode I although appearing more as belts are the same ones used in filming Episode IV: A New Hope, British Pattern 1903 Leather Bandoliers. They are made of brown leather with five 10-round pockets in the front. There are brass buckles for regulating the size and a strap for securing the lower end of the bandolier to the waistbelt (this strap was removed). This design of bandolier was made for only five years (1903-1908) though it saw many years of service after that.
