G43/K43 Ammo Pouch

G43/K43 Brown 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 and brown leather, which was soon altered to ersatz in order to conserve leather. Pouch marked with 'cny 44', indicating manufacturer 'C. Pose, Wehrausrüstungen' in Berlin and produced in 1944. Very nice pouch in mint and unissued condition!
