G43/K43 Ammo Pouch 'ros 1944' variant

Description

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 and brown leather, which was soon altered to ersatz in order to conserve leather. This is a brown leather pouch with brown leather belt loops. The pouch is nicely maker marked and dated with 'ros 1944'. This is a rarely seen single riveted variant instead of the usual double rivets, see red circle in close up photo. The pouch is in overall good condition with some traces of storage. This would be a great variant for the K43 pouches collector. Nice pouch in very good condition!
