Beretta SMG ammo pouch from I.O.inc

[Heinz Steinkopf]

There is an item for sale at IO Inc depicted at the picture. Does it have something common with Beretta SMG ammo pouches? Or is it a post-war or just fantasy?

Best regards

Not Italian, neither WWII nor post.It is probably a magazine pouch coming
from an East country at the time of the Warsaw pact or a pouch from a Scandinavian country.Cheers, PaoloM

Dear Paolo,
Thank you very much for the reply. I can't ind a picture, but as far as I know original Beretta SMG mag pouches are 3 pocket - something like MP40 pouches.
Cold you please post a picture of them?

Here below some examples, cheers, PaoloM

Not sure if these are good or not. However the pouch has been made
starting fron an Italian issue bag for T.35 gas mask. During the RSI period
this could happen.
