MP40 Canvas Ammo Pouch Leather Straps Pair - Green

German MP40 Ammunition Pouches

Reproduction Ammo Pouches for the MP40 sub-machine gun as used by the German Army in World War 2.

Although commonly called tropical pouches the variation in these pouches varied greatly throughout the war and canvas pouches can be seen in original photos from all theaters of the war that the German Army had participated in. But the pouches originally varied in many different construction methods from all leather, canvas with leather tabs, leather flaps, all canvas and in a whole range of shades and colours too.

Designed to carry six, 32 round magazines with the cartridges facing down for easy removal of the magazines from the pouch. The right hand pouch was also designed with another pouch to hold the cleaning brush and speed loader for magazines.

These are the second pattern pouches with the D-ring mounted horizontally on a leather tab as opposed to the first type which had the D-rings directly attached to the inner-top corner of each pouch.

These are excellent quality reproductions in a dark canvas with white stitching and leather belt loops, fastening straps and D-ring tab.
