US Victory Museum Posted August 2, 2015 Share #1 Posted August 2, 2015 An interesting P1912 magazine pouch I acquired on a whim. This is thesecond pattern, rimmed eagle snap magazine pouch for the 1911 pistol.Sometime late December 1916, Mills changed their drab color once again,this time having a much more khaki hue. The first pattern P1912 magazinepouches had a darker olive drab color; the second pattern pouches had apea green hue like that seen in these pistol belts photographed. At nearlythe same time Mills changed their dye, they also began manufacturing asimplified pouch we collectors colloquially call their third pattern thatutilized the lift-the-dot closure snaps.This pouch was made in Jan. 1917. The final photo is one posted by fellow USMF member Fausto demonstratinghis identical magazine pouch. These are uncommon, but not unique. It's just a transitionally produceditem. I thought it neat enough to be added to the collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
