Item Description
Original Item: Only One Lot of 2 Available. These are very nice German WWII Heer Army issued black pebble-grain leather triple Patronentaschen (ammunition pouch), designed to hold stripper clips for the Mauser k98K rifle. This was the standard German infantry rifle throughout WWII for all forces. These pouches would be attached to the waist belt, and would be attached to combat suspenders using the rings on the back. Each pocket holds two stripper clips of 5 rounds, so each pouch holds 6 clips, or 30 rounds.
The pouches are in excellent unissued condition, with the only wear and condition issues due to storage and age. They do not have any major leather issues, with most of the wear being to the finish around the edges, and the original white stitching is still vibrant. The internal separators are still present in all of the pockets, and all of the later war pattern steel rivets and snaps are sound. Each pouch is fitted with a "D" ring on the back, and steel rivet studs on the bottom. The steel components look to have been painted or plated with zinc or aluminum to prevent corrosion, which is still retained to a good degree. The backs of both pouches are maker marked with RBNr. 0/0675/0122, which are still crisp. This national business number is unidentified, but has been seen on other pouches, belts, and period leather goods.
This is a great chance to pick up a lovely matching set of k98K triple ammo pouches! Ready to display with your 98K rifle!
