Rare early FJ mp40 six mag. pouch

[clint-magnum]

Hello to all fellow fj collectors ,
I want to share this thread with you and know your opinions .
I opened a new thread following that of Willi :
http://dev.wehrmacht-awards.com/FORU...ad.php?t=33950

I want to show the existence of a six pouch other as the one that is strongly known, more premature!

I was able to collect a certain number of precious documentation by means of very pleasant collectors and I thank them a lot.
so here we go with some period pictures:





note the fantastic camoed helmet and camoed green smock.








here the first one :


here a secund one :



here a third one :



here is a fourth one : this is mine .



here is a fifth one to compare with the well known one :



I consider those ones to be specific for fallschirmjäger , while the others are
initially for armored crews :

Interesting information Roger! Nice work and thanks for psoting all the photos.

But, how do we know the earlier ones were not also intended for armored crews?

IMO these pouches were only used by FJ.
I will share pics of mine next week !
Mine was found in Italy .

Have somebody ever seen this kind of web "black and white" ?
I think that we need to learn more about these pouches

How many pouches for each MP40 were issued? 2 or 1?
