WW1 German Ammo Pouches. (2)

A bank of three black leather German ammunition pouches. These have been very well used but remain in good order. The leather is quite dry and will need a good wax or oil. One of the belt straps on the back looks like it has been replaced, as it does not match the other, but the rivet and stitches that holds it looks just as old. During the period when Germany was amassing an army, manufacturers used what they had. It may be from date of manufacture; it is hard to be certain. The leather is a little thinner than the normal infantry pouch, so they may have been made for mounted troops. They measure 7.5 x 4 inches high.
