Need Bulgarian Cleaning Rod Info

Pete,

It has very thin belt loops abeam the long axis of the rod pocket and opposite mag pouch. I did not photo the reverse side as there are no markings present, merely roughout leather.

This is the only one of these I have ever seen, and it is not in any of the books. As I purchased it in a flea market in Sophia at a pittance, I have no doubt that it is an original "something or other"; I speculate it is a piece for a police officer but that is *only* speculation and it is based on the fact that the mag pockets are "topless", which is more characteristic of police than military. In any event, it is off to Ron's El Paso abode to join a distant cousin.
