MG 34/42 Tool Pouch (natural)

Superb Reproduction MG34/ 42 tool pouch in Natural Tan Leather

Made from smooth, moulded black leather and machine stitched, the pouch features a hard leather closing flap with vertical leather strap secured on the bottom with an aluminium stud. On the rear, two belt loops to be worn on the belt and a D ring to be attached to the Y-straps.

Originally designed to be worn by the MG34 Gunner original pouches would have contained wooden inserts and spring clips to hold and affix all the tools needed to fix and maintain their Machine Gun. When the MG42 was produced the internals of the pouch were changed again to accommodate the new tools needed for their new, state of the art machine guns much feared by all allied forces for it's superior firepower and easy maintenance.

This reproduction features the 8 aluminium rivets on the rear, holding the internal plate, the spring clip and leather tool holder all as per the originals.

The MG tool kit consisted of a molded, black bakelite sulphur container, oilers, wrench tool, cartridge remover, starter tab, rubber and fabric muzzle covers as well as a thick cloth pad for the removal of hot, used barrels.
