G43/K43 Ammo Pouch

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 brown leather parts. The pouch is not visible marked. Nice original pouch in very good condition!
