    There are basically three variations in this batch. The first one is pebbled white or cream colored vinyl, with black leather fittings and black leather belt loops. This pouch is unmarked and appears never issued as are all of the rest.

            The third major variation is the ROS 1944 tan leather example

                In the minority there are a couple different examples of the FUQ 1945 pouches. They are cream colored vinyl with no pebble graining. They also have brown leather reinforcings and exhibit pebbled black leather closure straps. This example has the MM stamped into the rear belt loop which is also brown leather. Seems like a strange combination but I imagine at this stage of the war that they were cobbling together pouches as well.

                      This example is a very strange bird. As the earlier FUQ 1945, this one is again pretty much like the other. The difference being the belt loops. They are made of a green colored webbing and are stamped in white ink with the MM and date. The other belt loop also has some white ink stampings on it, however I cannot make it out. Has anyone ever heard or seen of this type of mark before?
                      All of these pouches are untouched and unmessed with. They came directly from a Russian Arsenal. I believe all to be unissued, but they do exhibit storage wear and dirt. They also do not smell to good (musty). Enjoy the pics, Jeff
