Hello Klaus,
Thank you so much for sharing the picture. I have already some copies of the picture you presented. I know as well a collector that has the (or one of the) original(s). I like this picture mainly because of the TM08 and related pouch.

Concerning the Holsters, if I am not wrong they seem to me 1915 Eugen Huber holsters, usually additionally marked AWM/1/15.

If you look at my web site, the current last picture in the "historical picture area" is showing the same holster; there is also a photo of a rig based on this holster.

I have in my collection a couple of pictures of Artillery soldiers with three magazine pouches. Your find in the archive is really interesting.

The George magazine pouch is really rare! It is the only specimen I have seen up to now.

Thank you for sharing.

Ciao,
Mauro
