I've never seen one that yellow looking. Normally the ones I've seen are about OD3.

Number two.

That one's a standard M2 carbine pouch. Meant to take two 30 rd mags and extra ammo on clips.

Is it a bag like? For the shotgun cleaning rod?

Perhaps. It seems rather flimsy for a sectional rod though.Seems disposable with fabric similar in weight to bandoleer fabric.

Yes, that's about right. It's not a military item. It's just to hold it together at home.

That makes sence as there are no visable stock numbers.
One more. M16 Bipod pouch. Not sure if it is early or late. My guess is late due to the provision for storing a cleaning kit.

You are correct sir...you used to see those around every gunshow table. I have the old cleaning kit that snaps onto the belt with the ALICE clip and snapped closed. They weren't great so these came along. Now you see none...

Another.
Dainish Bren mag pouch? Not sure how this would be fitted with the canted P-37 type attachments.
Looked at it again left or right cant for ease of access?

It fits like you think. The slanted hooks will cant it to the rear of your hips so it doesn't lie down on your legs. I hated them running straight down in front. An angle would have been welcome.

I don't know that but I do know whoever made it didn't know how to adjust the tension on a sewing machine, upper tension is far too loose.

My wife has her grandmother's sewing machine from the late 1950's early 60's, and as the technical talent in the household, I am the one that gets to do setup and troubleshooting whenever she wants to make some curtains or something. That and I know how to sew, and run a machine, as it was still high school curriculum when I was in school.

That pouch was crafted in a place that either has no QC inspector, or the sewing skill set is lower than an 8th grade high school student. LOL

It looks like the sear pouch or small parts pouch that came with the 1919A4 Browning MG. We had them still new back in the '70s...it could be repro though. That's what they looked like though...the flaming bomb looks bad enough to be real.

I inherited a Pfaff friom my great Aunt. Have not the 1st clue how to use it but am amazed at the craftsmanship of the machine. The ME-109 of sewing machines.

There are shops that sell and teach machines. You can go learn there. I highly recommend it...

Jaclin Mfg. Co., Moline. Ill., was a WWII contractor, had one contract that met the $50,000 threshold for packing services. I recall that this was a spare parts pouch for small BAR components. I can't imagine why anyone would want to replicate this pouch.

I have two examples of this same pouch made during WWI.

I actually can use a needle & thread. I have a sister that is kind enough to keep my multiple thumbs safe from the ravages of an electric needle.

I too hand sew, being a single man I still hem my own Carhartt's...I've often thought of going and borrowing the machine my daughter begged me to buy her and get lessons so it gets some use. Then I could make myself a new housecoat for this winter...see...maybe with inside holsters.
