Round leather ammo cases?

[Tinhat]

Does anybody know if these are for loose ammo or a round magazine, or any other info on them, one is dated 1918, I have no other details and this is the only picture.

As a rough guess based on the strap I would say they are 6" in diameter.

They are in an auction that I'm bidding on other stuff and I'm tempted by them because they look unusual.


Thanks, Steve.

I don't know I'd say ammo pouch because of the buckles and the leather hinge on the bottom. I'd think some kind of instrument or equipment case.

They look German?

They look like old leather collar boxes

Do you have any other pictures? I'm almost positive they are old leather collar cases... They are identical to the ones I have seen

Thanks for the replies.
AIF, I don't have any other pictures, but after a bit of searching on the net I think you are right, problem solved and money saved.
Cheers, Steve.
