Named K98 Ammo Pouch, Produced 1940

When issued all K98’s were equipped with one or two ammunition pouches. The earlier pattern pouches have the belt loops which fold under the pouches bottoms and attach to the studs there, while the latter patterns have the belt loops which are just stitched or rivetted to the reverse. The latter patterns also usually have steel fittings as opposed to the earlier aluminum fittings.

Constructed of blackened Brown pebbled leather with steel fittings. All interior separator strips still intact. Maker marked stamped to the reverse and also marked “1940” for year of construction. The name “Strufe” is hand written inside the left pouch. The leather is still soft and pliable. In overall good used condition.

Very nice, still used exampel!!
