Hello This is an 1880 marked pouch. It is stamped Walther Burgmann Strassberg. Thanks for any help on the stamped markings. The date looks to be 1880 and F.A.R. ?? I think 10. It was remarked F.A.R. 15. Kirby

Hi
The pouch on the left is a US Civil War era pistol ammunition pouch worn by officers and mounted troops armed with those weapons. I believe they came
in two sizes, one for .36 caliber and the other .44 caliber.
That is a really clean 1874 pattern German ammunition pouch, congratulations...

Hello Larry Thanks for the information. I thought the one might be Civil War. I found some on the US forum. KirbyComment

You're most welcome, my pleasure. I can't over the condition of the German pouch, still in the brown, never dyed black. As you know these are typically found "rode hard and put away wet", yours is certainly a clean one.

I find it interesting that Manf used white leather for the straps. I wonder if the leather was salvaged from a white belt or something. Thanks for sharingComment

Hi Klr,
The ink stamp in the lower left FsAR 10. Is for Foot Artillery (Fussartillerie) Regiment Nr 10.
Congrats, beautiful pouch!
