Artillery rig- need pics

[klaus 3338]

Hi Mauro,
I visited your side several times. You offer great informations and photos of the nicest collections, yours included.
I have only a photo which may be of interest for you.
Have you ever seen another pouch for 3 mags?
I´m not able to identify the LP08 holster on George´s 4. photo.
I picked up several hundreds of holsters during the years and there were some LP08 holsters but I never saw one like this on the photo.
Best regards and thanks for sharing your side!
Klaus
If you need a better copy of the photo let me know (grafschaft@gmx.de)

Mauro,
I looked at my archive and found some documents which may be of interest for you and other collectors, too.
On some old photos we see a soldier armed with a LP08 and 3 (!) mag pouches.
Handwritten sentences on the two attached documents point to using 3 mag pouches with each LP08. So there must be 7 magazines with each LP08 for a short (early) time. Later two or in some cases only one double mag pouch were used with the LP08. So the LP08 came with 5 or only 3 magazines “in later days”.

During the years I picked up many mag pouches. In some cases were clips with underlined T acceptance marks inside. Some years ago, when the new gun law was introduced into U.K., I met an English collector who wanted to sell a 1917 dated Luger rig. In the mag- pouch were clips with the acceptance mark as on the photo. I observed this several times. It seems that from 1917 on the spare clips for the long Luger came with the C/T underline instead of the serial numbers.

I know that my English is not the best but hope you will understand what I mean.

Regards Klaus
