ANOTHER BANDOLIER...Origins please?

kahnjar1 · 5th May 2015, 02:23 AM

Just received this nice powder bandolier and I am curious as to the origins.
The powder holders are turned wood, with unfortunately one missing, but a replacement can easily be made. Also the belt has gone. The stopper plugs are shaped leather, with nice leather lids. All well made of good leather and very nicely decorated on the face with brass studs and embroidery.
What do we think?

Hi,
Just few comments, the top looks like Ottoman embroidery and tapestry nails remind me Morocco or South Yemen Hadramawt. If I have to choose I will say Hadramawt.

Don't personally think Arabian. More likely Ottoman/Caucasus region IMHO, but then I am no expert in these.

No thoughts?

Like you, no more ideas... Watch this Omani one...

Yes that is Omani, but nothing like the one I was requesting information on.
