Gewehr 43 Pouches

[Michael Kuligowski]

Hey Michael,
Yea those are the fakes that are appearing on the market what a shame! LOL Hope you had a great summer by the way,

Nice To hear from You Mike !~!!

I hope Your summer is great too - I have a year long vacation here in Tahoe

anyway - back to topic - YES thats the famous "fakes" flooding the market..

I believe i have one of these in my collection - looks really great on my web belt

[Blaz]

Hey Michał and friends ,

yes, those are nice

There is comparison of ORIGINAL Rubberimpregnated webbing (pebbled surface) variations. Both are marked :ros 1944" ( some markings on these may be very faint or not clear). The one on the top is a minty one coming from the USSR army depot, the other one is a nice combat used found in Poland many years ago.

Collectors who are not in this topic, of course both pairs of these pouches are 100% original

I have already found another period picture of G43 pouch in use. Sorry, technically it is not good enough, but still interesting.

....... I want all the "repros"

Hi guys,for one more time, are you 101% sure that these 'repros' are 101% original pre-war, german items. I'm thinking of buying two of them to add to my collection.

Would I be safe with these?

You will always have a difference of opinion amongst collectors on this.
IMHO - buy only an fuq 1944.

that's exactly what I didn't want to hear . I quess it's like proceed but with own risk.

Thanks Dag

ROS and bla are both good also. fuq is just one of the good ones. Most collectors know this to be true. I don't see a lot of difffering opinions on these by people who have a good knowledge of field gear.
