I have a couple of these pouches which I purchased as AK mag pouches but they are significantly too small to accommodate the Soviet 7.62mm AK mag. Is anyone able to correctly identify exactly which pouch it is, which mag it takes and also the country of origin, please? Thanks for any help or information.
They have a Similar look to Eastern Europe Grenade Pouches, maybe Polish..but I'm no expert. They could for Mags.
PPSH mag pouch perhaps?
I agree, PPS or PPSh pouches.

I've tried PPSH 43 mags which appear to be too long for it. I only have drum mags for the PPSH 41 which obviously are not going to fit. Were the PPSH 41 stick mags the same as the PPSH 43 or were they something different? Thanks for the info.

Can it currently be imported into the States then, Vincent?
They are imported as parts kits and built into semi-autos or “post dealer samples.” It’s the relatively cheap ammo that people like (9x18 Makarov).
There are also holsters for it.

Does the pouch hold 3 or 4 mags and what is the purpose of the "pull tape" on the end section which has the inner flap, please? Thanks for the info. The Polish weapons of the Cold War era that I have seen have been relatively well made compared with other Eastern Europe state's weapons of the same period.
It holds 3 magazines and the pull tape is to aid in getting the oil bottle and tools out.
For reference and general knowledge, CF 82 Pattern C7 Rifle Magazine and C9 Belt Box pouches were equipped with pull tape to aid in extracting ammunition from those pouches. The pulls have eliminated from any of the subsequent load bearing designs I have seen to date.Quote:

That didn't help.Quote:
