[@ΔημήτριοςΠ]

this has been very helpful, thanks, I am trying to make one out of leather, the first two you show, if you could post a video showing more details on the inside how its sewn it would be great

@@schutztruppe I am also interested in buying the reproduction model 1874 pouch, If you are willing to sell yours or know of some shop that sells it , that would be a big help, my email is [e-mail] , you can contact me there, thanks!!

@@ΔημήτριοςΠ I dont want to sell my 1874 and i will have to make one to show you all the details so i will post it in a couple of weeks. The best place i found these pouches is ebay. Ebay in usa has the ones you want often but sometimes for $100. That's too much. I have seen them for $40 too, so i recommend you keep looking untill a low priced one is for sale. Another great place is ebay france. Www.ebay.fr. they also have them often and this morning i found a model 88 for $144 euros. That's how much i paid for mine. I strongly recommend you consider buying that one first because the 88 are very difficult to find. For ebay france use the word cartouchiere or giberne. Those are the words for ammunition pouch.

I have 2 1887 and they are dated 1888. There is any way I can send you some pictures? They have some writing in the inside.

if you freeze the video at 10:03you will se the only writing that mine have. Sometimes they have the maker stamped but 99% chance that they have the unit marked on them like this one. They also stamped the unit issued this pouch with ink. That's most likely what you have. Mine says something like V. Würt.Inft.Regt.No1.......infantry regiment #1 the V and Würt I think are the region or province like Bavaria or Saxony or .......Wuttenberg . hmmmmm
