C045681 BRITISH P37 WEB RIFLE AMMO POUCH.
BACKGROUND:
In 1937, The British specified a web pattern, for use in personal equipment, made of woven waterproofed cotton, and used it though out the war. In 1942 they issued some changes such as a new frog for the mark II bayonet and increasing the height of the basic pouches to accommodate the Sten SMG magazines. Of Note: Canadian personal equipment was a direct copy of the British 1937-pattern web equipment with manufacture starting in early 1940 and distribution beginning in October of the same year. The Canadian equipment differed from its British counterpart by its yellower colored webbing and the brown paint used to cover the metal parts.PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Khaki webbed canvas double pocket ammo pouch with brass fittings. Each pocket’s top fold-over flap has a single brass snap closure which mates with one of two brass studs to each pouch front. Inside each pouch is a divider that was used to keep the two clips of .303 rounds apart. To the reverse, on either side, are vertical brass belt hooks with, between them to the top, a vertical strap with a brass loop and another short strap with a brass buckle. Pouch has had blanco applied.
