G43/K43 Ammo Pouch - 'fuq 1945'

G43/K43 Ammo Pouch, 'Patronentaschen G43/K43'. Soldiers issued with the G43 were also equipped with a single, specially designed, dual compartment, ammunition pouch. The pouch held two ten round magazines (7.92mm ammunition) and was worn on the belt. Originally the G43 ammo pouches were constructed in blackened leather, which was soon altered to ersatz in order to conserve leather. This is a later pattern 'Ersatz' type example made of an rubberized fabric material with black & brown leather parts. The pouch is nicely maker marked and dated with 'fuq 1945'. This is a harder to find 1945 dated variant, example in very good condition.
