    Default French MAS-36 Leather Ammunition Pouch

    An unusual MAS-36 leather ammunition pouch; I have not seen anything that compares. Shown here with a WWII dated belt.
    Belt attachments are riveted and not sewn in as is commonly seen on these. Additionally, hardware is brass and not steel. Although a solid item, pouch looks handmade and construction is relatively rough, which makes me wonder if this was constructed in a French colony and not mainland France. Pouch is unmarked or marks have completely faded.
    I know the MAS-36 was exported to many colonial defence forces.

    Many thanks for your quick reply Narcis,

    I had considered this but had never seen an example with the riveted belt attachments before. These as a whole are certainly an under-documented item of militaria.

    Thanks again!

    On a French site, I see it's a model made in Beiruth. It's Handwork.

    Many thanks. I had a hunch it was made in a French colony but I would not have guessed the former French Mandate of Lebanon. Cheers

    They say a big stock was found in this country. The French Army not used such pouchs, but others with sewings. Easy to find here.
