    Mystery Pouch?

    I have this mystery pouch that came from a UKicon dealer. It looks, to me, that it may be Yugoslav but there are no divisions for holding mags and no sign of them ever being present and so I don't believe that it's a normal AK mag pouch. Any ideas as to it's purpose, please?

    Thanks for any information and replies.

Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle.

    Not all pouches or bags assorted are for carrying mags. It might be a purse for carrying rations though. Is the lining plastic or leather?
    It might not be military at all too.

    Yep, Yugoslavian.

    Sorry I'd forgotten about this one and I did eventually find an answer. Apparently it's for the Yugoicon M72 RPK, for carrying ammunition in boxes, not mags.

    It supposedly holds 540 rnds in 36 boxes of 15 rnds. I haven't actually checked that these numbers are correct.
