The ammunition pouch is in great, field used condition without any extensive damage present. The leather is worn with minor cracking in the finish but is still solid. The original leather carry strap is complete and solid, with one of the retaining loops torn. The inside of the pouch is in similar condition and even retains the twin reservoir oiler in the divider pouch.
This is a lovely, seldom seen ammunition pouch that would have also been used with other Arisaka models!
Comes more than ready for further research and display.
