Help setting up an old school duty belt

[jdh]

(I can't believe I'm about to say this)

Watch some Andy Griffith reruns. The prop department did a decent job of putting together the deputy's (No, I cannot say the name, I just can't) duty belt.

If you find a stick (batons are for majorettes) the rubber grommet goes with the big end toward the ring. Keepers are also good for securing a second set of cuffs. A key clip, with or without the leather tab.

I think there's a bag of keepers and a 3 cell Kel-lite around here somewhere.

There is a Phoenix Police Department Museum.
Why guess? Contact them and I am sure they will be glad to help you with Department and Era specific info.

Thank y'all for the input! Lots of great ideas and history there. I think for mace, I'll end up using one of my retired cans of OC with the label long gone. Radio holder is super low priority at this point.

I'm just wrapping up my work week. Back is a little sore from my uber lightweight Safsriland composite belt with kydex. nylon, etc. The old school cops with pure leather, keepers, hickory sticks and mag lights had to have been darn tough.
