G43/K43 Ammo Pouch

G43/ K43 Ammo Pouch, Patronentaschen G/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 'Ros 1944', indicating an unknown manufacturer in 1944. The pouch is in overall very good condition with minimal age toning and the leather is still quite supple. Nice pouch in good condition!
