A Weimar Republic Army (Reichsheer) Ammunition Pouch

Fabricated from a thick, durable brown leather with a pebbled finish, incorporating a fold over cap with a strap stitched on the underside, the strap with a die-cut, teardrop-shaped hole at the opposite end and when looped around the magnetic metal post on the underside of the pouch, ensures a snug fit when closed. The inside of the pouch is divided into two sections by the use of a narrow horizontal strap near the top, the ends of the strap secured to the body of the pouch via rivets on either end. The reverse of the pouch has an additional panel stitched in place, the panel with a vertical strap stitched in place and emboss stamped with the date "1920", and like the strap attached to the cap, has a die-cut, teardrop-shaped hole at the opposite end and when fed under the horizontal strap that is riveted in place, then looped around the magnetic metal post on the underside of the pouch, ensures a snug fit. The pouch measures 72 mm x 99 mm x 43 mm, with very light wear, intact stitching, near extremely fine.
