Dear members,

Does anybody know what kind this ammunition pocket this is? Pre war? WWII? Any help is greatly welcome. Looking forward in hearing your expert opinions!

Wartime made pouch.

Cheers, Ade.

Thank you Ade! I was not sure because the closing straps are both fixed with two metal bolts instead of stitched

Just a manufacturers variation. Sometimes seen horizontal as well.

Hello,

Thanks

Shape of y strap ring is odd ... neither rectangle nor D shape?

Manufacturers variations (stitching / riveting ) different methods.

As found on Rask Antik - WWII German military antiques

Hello,
Nope....sorry...
IMO it's a badly shaped D-ring...nothing noticeable here i'm afraid...
Four more tries, then i'll give the answer...
The winner, if a winner there is as Yoda would say, will be offered a nice original Wehrmacht artefact...yes...a free original item...however dont expect a DD helmet or a pair of Marschstiefel, but when it's free it's always satisfying to add a little something to the collection, yes right there in the cabinet, between this Iron Cross and this pair of shoulderstraps...
Thanks
