Help Identifying This Leather Pouch

**odessa** · 11-12-2012, 06:53 PM

Hi, My wife saw this leather pouch at a local flea market marked up as WWI webbing ? It was cheap so she thought it was worth a go.
There is no marking whatsoever on the pouch and everyone I ask about it I just get a puzzled look back.
Is there anyone out there who may have seen one of these at all. I have no idea of what country it could be either.
Any help is much appreciated

Are you sure that it is WW1? I think it is Swedisch or from Switzerland post WW1.

Unfortunately we don't, she came across it a flee market and it was labelled up as WWI webbing.
If it is Swedish any thoughts on what it may have held ?

It is a pouch for 7.62 X51m/m Nato 98k used by Israel,, Israel issued these Grenade Launchers first in 1957...BILL

Hi Bill,

Many thanks for your answer, someone else has also just informed me of what it is.
Ahhh shame, it's not WWI after all, but at a tenner, it was worth the gamble.
Again many thanks Bill
