I am fairly certain it is an ammo "bandolier" for a SKS to carry loaded stripper clips in.

Yep it is a Vietnam era Chinese military SKS stripper clip chest rig. Designed to be worn up high in the chest area and not down like a belt.

 

Look on the backside and there should be Chinese lettering.

There are no markings on it whatsoever

Yup. Let me know if you want to sell it. I need another. Mine’s in the display case at the VFW.

The ones used by the NVA were usually unmarked and I believe they were Soviet bloc made. The ones with Chinese markings are usually post Vietnam war.

UB was yours originally green and faded with use or did they make them from undyed canvas?

All the ones I saw were tan/khaki. Never saw any green ones.

When they imported a whole bunch of Chinese SKS's in the early 1990's there was a chest rig included and those were green, maybe an olive green IIRC.

Yeah. I’ve seen those at gun shows mostly. Definitely never saw one in country. But you never know.
