WW2 American Paratrooper Rigger Pouch Medium OD7 Green by Kay Canvas

US WW2 Airborne paratrooper rigger pouch medium size in OD#7 green colour made by Kay Canvas.

In World War Two the US Airborne had special Rigger made ammunition pouches which allowed them to carry more ammo and equipment on the webbing sets than the standard issue magazine pouches.

The Rigger pouches where made in various sizes and where worn by the US paras on the M1936 pistol belts with other standard issue webbing.

The medium rigger pouch holds either 5 x M1 Garand rifle clips or 6 x M1 carbine magazines or 2 x Pineapple hand grenades.

Size is approxmately 10cm high, 6.5cm deep, 11cm wide with a wide belt loop (9.5cm) on the back so it can slide onto the M1936 pistol belt. The flap is fastened by a singe lift the dot style press stud.

Premium quality webbing pouch, these are made by Kay Canvas using the best fabrics. The metal is brass not steel and the cotton canvas webbing has the correct weight and weave of the originals for a high quality pouch. These are as good as originals, they just do not have that old musty smell to them.
