C018894 BRITISH P37 PATTERN, MKIII "STEN GUN" AMMO POUCH.

BACKGROUND: In 1937, The British specified a web pattern, for use in personal equipment, made of woven waterproofed cotton, and used it though out the war. In 1942 they issued some changes such as a new frog for the mark II bayonet and increasing the height of the basic pouches to accommodate the Sten SMG magazines. Of Note: Canadian personal equipment was a direct copy of the British 1937 pattern web equipment with manufacture starting in early 1940 and distribution beginning in October of the same year. The Canadian equipment differed from its British counterpart by its yellower colored webbing and the brown paint used to cover the metal parts.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: P37 pattern, large, tan/khaki webbed canvas single pocket ammo pouch. Maker marked and dated for 1941. Rear attachments look replaced/moved. Possibly wartime done, but not 100% sure. Still and excellent condition pouch.
