Scarce 1939 Pattern Leather Cartridge Pouch (2)

A scarce example of the 1939 pattern emergency equipment cartridge carrier in a light brown leather.

This pattern of equipment was a stop-gap issued to second line troops and Home Guard troops so that the new 1937 web equipment could be sent to those at the front.

This example is a slightly darker shade of brown than the other I have listed, though it is worth remembering that they would have been issued in different shades.

In A1 condition, this would be hard to better!
