WW2 British, 1937 Pattern Webbing Pistol and Ammunition Pouch, 1943.

Was £65 now £60

There were two standard patterns of Web Pistol Cases produced during the war. The larger being produced for the larger .455 chambered weapons and the smaller for produced for those chambered for .380, the main difference being that the larger case had a curved flap whilst the smaller was square. Both patterns had an internal sheath for a cleaning rod, brass snap fastener and three double hook fasteners fixed to the rear.
The Ammunition Pouch is of a box shape with a square lid and single snap fastener. On the rear it had a pair of hooks for fixing to the belt, a web fitting that allowed the pouch to be attached to the pistol case and a webbing flap to accept the shoulder brace. The pouch would accept two 12 round boxes of both .455 and .380 ammunition.

This pairing has a light coat of KG3 Blanco, I cannot make out the makers marks for either, however the Pistol Case is clearly dated 1943.
