SAP BROWN LEATHER BELT (MID TO LATE 1990S). IN SOUTH AFRICA

 SAP Brown Leather Belt, as used from mid-1994 to the late 1990s.   These belts were issued to members of the former Internal Stability Units (ABS-ISD) as the camouflage uniform was recalled, and members were re-issued with the field dress blues. Often these belts were artificially blackened using shoe polish by members, to reflect the changing image of the South African Police; as the mandate changed from internal stability to public order policing.   The leather of the belt is supple and in GOOD CONDITION. Total Length: 102 cm   NO FOREIGN BIDDERS!   NB: PLEASE NOTE, NO PERSONAL COLLECTION OF ITEMS. PAYMENT MUST BE MADE WITHIN 48 HOURS OF PURCHASE.   Below is an example of this type of belt having been blackened and worn by a member of ABS-ISD NO. 9 (second from the left).
