Lot 716:
A Trio of Soviet Mosin Nagant Pattern Double Ammunition Pouches
Sold for: $15
Description
A trio of double-compartment military ammunition pouches, corresponding to the design pattern for the Soviet Mosin-Nagant rifle. Each pouch is constructed from a dark brown pebbled-texture composite material, similar to Kirza or Presstoff ersatz leather, and is reinforced with natural tan leather side panels, trim, and binding. Each compartment features an individual top flap secured by a characteristic Y-shaped leather closure strap that fastens onto a brass-finished conical metal stud at the base. The pouches are assembled using a combination of heavy stitching and metal rivets. The reverse of each unit is fitted with two vertical leather belt loops for attachment to a standard military utility belt. No legible manufacturer marks, dates, or inspection stamps are visible on the exterior or interior of the pouches.
Condition report:
The pouches are in good, field-worn condition. The pebbled body material shows surface scuffing and minor wear to the texture, particularly along the edges. The natural leather components, including the straps and belt loops, exhibit signs of age, darkening, and light surface cracking, but remain structurally sound. The metal rivets and studs show a moderate patina and light surface oxidation consistent with their age. All closure straps and belt loops are intact.
