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 black leather pouch. The pouch is nicely maker marked and dated with 'cvc 45' in blue ink indicating production in 1945. The pouch is in overall very good condition with minimal age toning and the leather is still quite supple. Nice original late war G43 pouch in good unissued condition!
