[quote]I was told that is a very rare 9mm ammo pouch for the heavy water bulleted cartridges for the belt fed luger. These cartridges are of historical significance as the forerunner of the depleted uranium shells we now use. Unfortunately they were like a atomic hand grenade which can be thrown 30 yards but had a blast radius of 5 miles. The belt fed Luger had a short field life as most users were killed trying to unrap the belt from around the pistol after pulling it out of the clam shell holster that was still in use at the time. This is a very rare ammo pouch and a serious must for the German Luger collector!!!<hr></blockquote>

Okay, is this a Christmas prank from someone on the forum or a guy that worked for a drug company during the early 70's? [img]biggrin.gif[/img]

this is some type of long gun ammo pouch and has nothing to do with Lugers...

This guy tells some fierce whoppers! But it did bring a grin to my face...

Sad part is somebody probably sold it to him based on that story.

Not so fast! Let's put a Geiger counter to this thing!

Interesting that this should appear just as I'm preparing to put up for sale my Very Rare, Nikon marked WWI tripod for the belt fed luger or "Schutzen Hoser". I'll give you guys first dibs.
