More on the 1911 Ammunition Pouch...

In my last post I lectured on a bit on the 1911 pattern ammunition pouch so now I want to apply this to creating your impression. So where to buy a set?

This is an item would be no doubt overlooked for reproduction purposes but fortunately for us, the same pattern was adopted for army-wide use by the German Army prior to WWII and was used throughout the entire conflict. Also, interestingly enough, the Luftwaffe used the brown pattern during the early part of the war and that has been reproduced along with the Army version which comes in black.

Right now, the best source is At the Front and I recommend the brown color. It can be darkened up further if need be. 



The version in black is also all right but it limits your impression options somewhat. The price is reasonable and for our purposes, the lack of manufacturer's marks is a good thing (someday we may have our own made up).
