I have come across dozens of these pouches in my years of collecting, many minty fresh, and I've only seen one with the instructions (which I kept). Nice score!

Bolo, an amazing coincidence here in that I went to a gun show in Cleveland a few weeks ago and a vendor had a stack of assorted mag pouches. I never would have given them a second thought, but I was striking out that day. I started my search and the pouch on the bottom was a mint WWI pouch. I already have a few, but specifically opened it to search for the care instructions and BINGO, they were there and I bought the pouch for a grand total of $15.00. The pouch and instructions are identical twins of those you showed.

Very nice pouch, been after one of these care sheets for a while now. I have several WW1 .45 magazine pouches even minty ones but never lucked on a pouch with the sheet.

About 15-20 years ago I remember a large number of these ammunition pockets with instructions at surplus stores and with dealers. Somewhere I have a pile of the instruction sheets that were removed to be tossed.

I picked up an eagle snap .45 pouch a while ago and saw some paper squished way down inside one of the pockets. I very carefully pulled it out and found on of these care sheets. This one is dated 6-22-16.

That's because the paper didn't come in the WW1 contract pouches.

too bad, this one could have used it. Cost saving measure?
