Baretta pouches

[NickG]

What do we have here?
Baretta pouches with belt perhaps..........
Is this war time even?
Note German style double claw belt buckle???

If it is a post war rig...was something similar used in the war? RSI?

Post ww2 Italian Air Force AMI.

There was nothing similar during ww2 for the Beretta m38.

OK thanks for the warning! I won't buy these...I was suspicious...
These are frequently on ebay and always described as ww2 issue...

Here's another set in the ww2 section...
Note (rusty) US style "lift the dot" closure snaps...
The others are an earlier pattern I assume but still post war than...

Yes, but not BERETTA m38 but M38A, M38/42, ..... and also TZ45, FNAB43, .... and post war LF57 and BERETTA Mod. 5 and M12

Se preferisci...Mab 38a, 38/42, 38/43 e forse anche 38/49.
Francamente, non vedo troppo la differenza fra Beretta m38 and M38A...

So is it ww2 after all?

(for M38A and M38/42?)

Beretta 38 does not exist, and Beretta mod. 38/49 is mod. 4 or mod. 5, according to safety.

No, it is post ww2.
