Bob Hudson Posted February 24, 2009 Share #1 Posted February 24, 2009 Found this small (about 4.5 by 3 inches) pouch recently and it is unlike anything I've seen before, both in the style and the way it is marked. Once you open up all the flaps, there is a small pocket with loops inside (you can see the outside stitching for those loops in one of the photos below).

craig_pickrall Posted February 24, 2009 Share #2 Posted February 24, 2009 That is the ammo pouch for .38 rounds. There are several different posts that show that pouch along with the Victory model .38 and either hip or shoulder holsters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share #3 Posted February 24, 2009 Someone has quite professionally sewn up a flap that should fold down to reveal the loops to hold the ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craig_pickrall Posted February 24, 2009 Share #6 Posted February 24, 2009 For many years they seemed to be fairly unusual but in the last month or so I have seen more than in the last 10 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted February 24, 2009 Share #7 Posted February 24, 2009 Forgot to add that it is very possible a pilot had that pouch sewn closed and not a civilian. That design is not the most secure. If a cartridge works it's way out of the loop then it could also work out of the pouch and be lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hudson Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share #8 Posted February 24, 2009 Forgot to add that it is very possible a pilot had that pouch sewn closed and not a civilian. That's what I suspect: a civilian would have little use for one of these with the wire hangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_pickrall Posted February 24, 2009 Share #9 Posted February 24, 2009 Bob, I have posted these pics before but can't find the thread. Thought you might like to see the pouch in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
