when i bought it i sent photos to jerry to get a price on restitching
he said it was a commercial piece and i agree hello jerry that is not what you said when i sent you the photos! Nick, Please do not put words into my mouth. It's not sanitary. Regardless of what you think I said...It is what it is. If, as you say you have collected for 30+ years and you know your leather, you know exactly what this double magazine pouch is. It is foreign made, Turkish perhaps, Pakistani perhaps. The same design is currently made as a reproduction today. It is NOT proper for the Artillery rig you sold. It is NOT of the same era, it is NOT a belt carry type and is NOT German made. This takes nothing away from your fine Artillery rig. It's just a double mag pouch made in another country at another time. Jerry Burney

Just an observation from somebody that knows very little about the subject, but the mag pouch pics show a probably machine made lock-stitch rather than a regular sattler hand-stitch. Yes-No?

Ron, Yes, I noticed this as well. The regular stitching found on German WW1 double mag pouches is machine stitched. Parts of this piece show regular machine stitching..parts are either an overstitch or the type of stitch found at the top of sugar sacks or paper feed bags. These enable you to pull it out by grabbing the end of a string.
The thread in this appears to be linen which would be correct for a 1945 and earlier construction. It's my opinion that this was made earlier than 1945. When and by whom is open to debate. Certainly not by the Germans. Jerry Burney

Hi Nick...
Off the top of my head...I think the mid 1930's for the Persian contracts...not sure if the leather shipped with the Mauser guns or if the leather was purchased separately in Iran... |
