Modified 58 Pattern Compass + Ammo Pouch


Enfield1940

Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

Amongst a recently purchased job lot was a 58 Pattern compass pouch that had been turned into a field dressing carrier* by removing the padding and a 58 Pattern right-hand ammo pouch** that had had the yoke and poncho carrier attachments removed so that it can only be attached to a belt.

 

I was wondering how typical these modifications are and why you’d modify an ammo pouch in that way? (A supplementary ammo pouch?) The Energa launcher sub-pouch is still intact.

 

Cheers,

 

Mark

 

*It had a field dressing in it.

 

**Annoyingly it’s a scarce Mk1 with the ‘stiffeners’ in the sides of the lid. The internal magazine support strap has also been removed.
