    soviet F1 grenade pouches (original stamping?)

    Hello!
    I would like to ask for your help in connection with these two Soviet F1 grenade pouches. Both are stamped, and the date (1945) is clearly visible. I think they are original wartime ones, but I would like to be 100% sure, that the stampings are original. thank you!

    first one:

      Comrade,
      The Russian Reconstructors have identified them as Tankest issued pouches for the storage of Grenades for the local protection of the vehicle from infantry.

      Hence lots of mint condition pouches, few photos of use. the design was also used in the post war era by the fraternal nations such as the DDR and the CSSR. I have seen many stored in a CSLA OT 90, in hopper ready for use, the DDR manufactured lots of them in lots of different materials but again no photos of them in use by Motor Rifles.

      Many Russian recontructor groups consider them Pokemon if used by "Rifles" in their Battle reconstructions.

      At the moment this seems to be the best understanding of them and their use.

        I have two photos I have encountered with F-1 pouches in use. One with tanker personnel, another with 2 soldiers walking towards a building. It is my understanding as well that it was designed and issued with the intent for armored units.
