Superb - and nowadays rarely encountered! - pair of matching WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS etc.) greenish-coloured, so-called: MP38-40-pouches, which are both nicely maker-marked: 'CLG 43' and bearing a: 'Waffenamt-Abnahme'-stamp
This is a very attractive - and nowadays rarely encountered! - pair of fully matching WH (Heeres ie. Waffen-SS etc.) greenish-coloured- and/or linnen-based so-called: MP38-40-magazine-pouches (ie. 'Magazintaschen für die Maschinenpistole 38 o. 40') which are both clearly maker-marked with the three-digit makers'-designation and date: 'CLG 43' and bearing a so-called: 'Waffenamt-Abnahme'-stamp, both pouches coming in an overall very nice- (I deem hardly used- ie. 'virtually mint'-), condition. Both (fully identically-produced-) pouches come in a very nice condition and were hardly- (or even never!) used: they were always together and make a nice and fully matching pair. Both pouches are nicely marked on their backs with the makers'-designation (ie. later-war-period 3-digit code-) that reads: 'CLG' (signifying that they are a 'text-book'-pair as was produced by the company: 'Ernst Melzig Lederwaren' based in the town of Liegnitz), a clear 'Waffenabnahme'-stamp and a date of production: '43' (ie. signifying the year 1943). The blackened- and fine-grain-quality leather of both pouches is excellent and of course fully functional: regrettably is one of the (fragile) straps torn- ie. broken (I deem simply caused by careless opening) but nothing that shocking. All metal parts (rings and snaps are just bit dusty ie. stained as usual but nothing shocking). These original MP-pouches sets are getting harder to find and this set would look superb if re-mounted on any mannequin. Simply a nowadays hardly ever offer for sale set of original and matching MP38-40-pouches that is not inexpensive but I deem fully worth its money!
