alright fellows (and fellowettes) found this Thompson mag pouch and three-mags at an estate sale today. The pouch is unmarked and the mags are as follows: 2-Auto Ordnance 1-Seymour Products. I know enough about Thompson stuff to be dangerous. So...is this USGI stuff or reproduction ? I throw myself at your mercy, don't beat me up too bad. (see pics)

THANKS !

Seymour was a sub contractor and furnished replacement mags. Not sure what vintage though. I have several marked that way. The Auto Ord is original equipment.

I could be wrong, but I think these unmarked pouches can also be found in the pre-war Auto Ordnance catalogue...

 

ThompsonSavage,

 

Yes, pouches like this are listed in the pre-war Auto-Ordnance catalogs, however this one is not a pre-war pouch. It's a legitimate WWII pouch, and likely came from the Russian lend lease stock that OD MAN mentioned. The magazines are also WWII vintage.

 

Here is a link to my Thompson canvas item reference:

Some years back I had a five cell pouch that looked to be unmarked

but if you look behind the web belt loop it was marked.... it's worth a look...

KABAR2,

 

Yes, many of the 5-cell TSMG pouches are marked in that manner, on either side of the inside of the belt loop. I had someone give me a strange glance at a show this weekend when I looked inside the loop of a pouch they had for sale, but then I showed them the marking, and they appreciated knowing it was there.
