How is the MP40 speed loader pouch attached?

[Larry Davis]

Can anyone show me how the MP-40 speed loader pouch is attached to the main ammo pouch? I've looked at at least a hundred photos of pouches here on the forum, and can not see how the little buggers are stitched on! Would someone be good enough to take a couple of photos showing the method of attachment?

Thanks, much appreciated!

Cheers!

What............no one knows????

Not even Unteroffizier Steiner?

Soooooooooo sad, a very sad state of affairs is this.

How is the little pouch stitched to the main pouch group?

I'll bet corporalSteiner knows. If you want the right answer, always ask a Brit!

I'm biased I know, but I'll get over it. That's what they keep telling me.

I know........John Penn! Yes John will know! He's not British but he does have a good sense of humour. That counts for a lot. What do you think John?

I used to have a leather one many years ago, but I don't know if they were made the same way as the textile ones. I guess I might find a photo somewhere. If I do I'll try to scann it.

Thanks Carles and David for your replys! True gentlemen!


Yes that shows the join perfectly!!

I bought a repro set for my kit and the small speed loader pouch is just stitched on by one small spot the size of a ten pence coin (about the size of a 5 cent coin for those what has never handled a 10P). It does not look like it would stay attached very long in normal day to day wear. It hangs all over the place.
Now I can awfenticly redo the stitching on the reproduction, and know that I won't be spending an afternoon wandering all over the field looking for the missing small pouch muttering the magic finding words.
A few passes on the long arm sewing machine and Roberts your mothers brother!

Thanks all for the help.


Cheers!
