Hi Michal,, all I can say is that it's not pre-WW2. Moved to PRL/LWP forum to see if anyone can provide an ID.

thanks a lot for info and for relocation of threat.
Definitively postwar Polish army equipment. Looks similarly like breadbag but there are some differences (see link for viewing standard breadbag - Wojskowa Polska TORBA Polowa / Nadupnik WP - Nowa - 3804026555 - oficjalne archiwum allegro).
By the way, according to definition: "Breadbag, as it is defined by its name, serves for carrying grenades."
thank You very much.i will search something in that way.
best regards
This is not a "breadbag" this is a pouch for chemical suit OP-1.
The torba na wyposażenie (eng. utility pouch) aka "breadbag" is much different and smaller with divide in the middle nad two small pockets inside on the back side and one flat pocket on the left side also inside.
I agree, I don't know the the official name for it but I have seen these in use whilst stationed in Germany during the Cold War and the Soviet Army used similar items for their chemical suit which was basically the same. It worn worn the same way as a haversack suspended over the shoulder across the body

There was or actually is because in some units we still have them and also newer FOO-1 chemical suit is carried in similiar way (actually the same), two ways of carrying it:
1) across the shoulder on the right hip (on the left is gas mask/haversack);
2) on the shoulders/back straped to the webbing called "szelki dusicielki".
EDIT:
official name of the pouch is "torba na OP-1" or "torba na odzież ochronną OP-1".
I will try to find a manual for the OP-1 and will confirm it.
