Unorthodox and rare MP40 pouch

[LOTHRINGEN]

please send a valid link !

[Bergflak]

Link was valid, but he removed the item listed for sale during the night! It was a 6 mag pouch in tan with light brown leather, with yeardate "4" and a three letter code. Pouch looked very promising and was priced at a mere € 3750,-
The reason I added the link was the fact that it had the ammo-belt carrying sling with the civilian type of hooks that has been observed on original pictures earlier in this thread! Sorry for leading you on .....

I agree with you, I had seen the link yesterday evening.

nobody copied pics for our files !?

[Bergflak]

Here you go! I managed to recover the photos from my computers Temp-folder.

[Bergflak]

Not very good pictures of the sling. It has one of the civilian hooks intact, while the other one has been "replaced".
How this sling was paired with a mint late war 6 pouch is another question...

[LOTHRINGEN]

exactly what i like

[Laurent_3.2]

Very nice !

I was searching into my computer in the "temporary internet files" but difficult to find...

Wow, great pouch!

Very interesting strap.

This use of unaltered US machine gun bands in German equipment is one of the coolest 'technicalities' I have seen!

Hey Xav ,
that is indeed exactly the strap we need for our earlier pouches !
how , damnish , came this strap to this beautiful pouch ???

Good morning gents,

Three years later, just let me add another 3 cell pouch by the same maker. Just arrived and pics are seller's ones. No trace of any stamp or WaA, only hand written H. Schmitz. Does anyone have a clue of who the maker was and when they were produced?
