WW1 Leather Magazine Pouch?

[UmTerps]

So I just recently bought this pouch. I'm assuming it is a magazine pouch based on the curve, but I don't know what magazine it would hold, and am really curious. If anyone knows, please let me know, I'd really like to know what it really is. Thanks for your help! [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG]

Isn't that for the Pederson device?

[UmTerps]

I honestly have no idea, I bought this along with a couple other items. All I know is that its WW1 and a magazine pouch. For what gun I don't know I was hoping you guys could help!

[browningautorifle]

I don't think it's for the mags. That was a canvas pouch and they're around. I think this is for the device it's self and there will be others along to confirm or deny this. Just bear with us for a minute until they focus. They'll be here though.

Attachment 51294 Here's the set up, I may be out of whack here...

[UmTerps]

Wow, that's really cool I had never heard of the Pederson Device. But I do appreciate your help, and anyones help for that matter. I'm patient though no worries.

[UmTerps]

So then I'm guessing that this didn't hold the Pederson? Since that is fabric and this is leather. Poor assessment?

[browningautorifle]

No, the long black one in the center of the belt there is the Pedersen device case. I don't really know what it's made from. The one you show...I'm fresh out of ideas. Someone will be along shortly...

[UmTerps]

Oh I see ok, the material it is made out of is really thick leather, in case that helps anyone.

Well , I'm not up on WW1 stuff , but didn't the MG or cannon crews have a machete type tool that folded up like a giant single blade pocket knife that had a curved blade such that when folded up the tip end was much wider than the piviot end ? Or am I thinking of a WW2 piece ?
