Rare combat worn MP44 magazine pouch

Rare combat worn MP44 magazine pouch as made by KKD. These pouches, fully made from recycled materials are typical for these two makers KKD and FUQ. The pouch is a rare actually ‘combat’ worn condition. One of the straps has a tear to the leather. One of the studs is repaired. This is a early second pattern example with the magazine cells shaped inwards but without the reinforced bottom part. Hard to find, authentic and combat worn example!

I have photographed it together with the other late war pouch which IMO could be paired but are not from the same manufacturer. Several minimal details show differences but it would hardly be noticable on a mannequin, in my opinion!
