Scotch Harry Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Did have a couple more but could only find these for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enfield1940 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Interesting coincidence: I took delivery of a 'MW&S Ltd 1974' marked pouch yesterday. It had been poorly listed on eBay and I got it for £20 all in along with various PLCE items. Annoyingly the left hand tab won't do up.

Enfield1940 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) There is a very close variant of these twin mag pouches. They are IDENTICAL in construction but a lighter shade of green webbing material. These are from the '44 pattern web sets & were made for the Stengun. They look ENTIRELY the same, except for the colour. The down side of this is, they ALSO are very scarce! I do not even have an example in my own collection! :embarrassed: Apologies for necroposting, but I think I may have just acquired one of these: it's marked 'MECo 1964' and 'CN 1459' and as described it's more of a 1944 Pattern green colour than darker 1958 Pattern olive green. According to the forthcoming 1958 Pattern section of Karkeeweb, it's a "Pouch, magazine, S.M.G., Mk. 2." and was made for the Sten rather than the Sterling. http://www.leemetford.com/patterns/1958/components/component_np_official.html I am however a bit puzzled: why would they have been making Sten pouches in 1964? Or is this merely a quirk of the paperwork and post-1953 they were for Sterlings? I don't have any pics yet as I'm in the middle of cleaning it.
