Need some help for identifying the use of a 3 pockets pouch

[Marco_01fr]

Hi all,

I need some help for these small pockets because I did'nt find anything in my American gear docs, only a photography of a US cavalry man.

It is made of web that looks like British Made and has a good M1910 hook.

No apparent marking.

The set is 16 x 11 cm and the inside of the pockets 3 x 8. It is really to store very small equipment.

 

On a French forum, somebody told me that it was used to store 6 45ACP cartridges, but I can not believe it, because it seems very impractical compared to a Pistol Magazine Pocket or a M1917 revolver pocket...

 

If somebody has an idea ?

Thanks for help.

 

 

 

 

In the picture below, the pockets are worn on the rider's bandoleer.

 

Best regards,

 

Marco

The pockets are for revolver ammunition.

Many thanks Doyler,

But I don't understand how it can be worn on the bandoleer. Mine does not have double web. Has it been changed by removing a web layer and adding a M1910 hook ?

 

Rgds,

Im thinking it was removed from the bandolier and modified for a belt.
