Re: german ww1 ammo belts
WW1 German Ammo belts were cloth, like the Vickers and Russian Maxim type. Usually 250 rounds cloth with brass or steel hardware attached. Although there was a 100 round belt for the Assault drum. Ammo boxes were almost identical to the early steel WW2 style with one latch.
Hope this helps.
