New G43 pouch photo ?

[Jeroen wo2]

Hi Guys,

I've just bought this photo on ebay.
I liked it because you can see the G43 Sniper rifle!
He is wearing a k98 pouch on the left, a holster in the middle but what about the pouch on the right.
It looks a bit like a black G43 pouch because the small leather straps are on the front of the upperside of the pouch.
What are your opinions? Is it a G43 pouch?

Kind regards,

Jeroen Z.

Both the pouches are K43 pouches in the canvas ersatz material imho

Superb picture!

No way - the pouches are way to small (and the left one shows 3 compartements) for the mag, compare the size of the mag seen here to the pouch, its half-size.
So both pouches are standard K98 ones.

Great photo but I agree that both pouches are not G/K43.

This photograph has been discussed on this forum before, i can't find it due to the snail speed this forum is recently accustomed to.

I have my doubts about the authenticity of this photograph.

This photograph is sold at least two times a week on e-bay. This picture is heavily reproduced. Therefor I doubt the originality of your photograph.
