6-Cell Magazine Pouches Information

[Willi Z.]

From the book "The Schmeisser Myth". Nothing we didn't really know, but I thought it makes a useful reference.

Willi and the other, do you think these two sixcell pouches are original ww2 period pieces? I little doubt about these two. Any other opinions?

IMO 2 fakes.

[Willi Z.]

I agree. I just posted these pages for the text information.

Better linking it to this informative thread about early six cell pouches.

HI, Willi

Agreed, both at the bottom are fakes for sure.

Maybe Sergey could know that and help?

I was able to obtain about 20 ..some left separate to another sources but I think no more than 10...Also there were some pouches in very bad condition damaged by water.

one is now for sale on E-stand for good price i think:

That's a great price! Some rust, but that can be cleaned off rather easily.

The question is just to know if the 2 bolts (or 3) are still strong fixed with the rust ?
If the round leather pièces are dry and hard .......

[Willi Z.]

I have used "0000" steel wool with some light "Breakfree" or "Kroil" oil to successfully remove rust on fittings like that. On both field gear and firearms. Snaps on smock and bandos as well, and without touching the fabric.

It has sold.
