RARE: Vietnam Era US M1956 Canvas Small Arms Ammo or Magazine Pouch Up for auction is Vietnam Era US M1956 Canvas Small Arms Ammo or Magazine Pouch. This pouches are used, see photo's for Condition. The side grenade straps and long suspender strap are all present. Alice clips are present on all. The color is faded slightly, as is common on these pouches. Most are marked and dated in the 1960's. The US logo on the front may not be visible on all. Alice clips may not be on all. Made from cotton duck, the M1956 Universal Ammunition Case was designed to accommodate various ammo loads, such as a folded bandoleer containing six 8-round clips of M1 ammunition or two BAR magazines. In Vietnam, Colt Magazines proved too short for the Universal pouch and as a result a sock was often put in the bottom to raise the magazines up for faster retrieval during firefights. The case attached to the pistol belt via two slide keepers and had a supporting strap that clipped to the metal loop on the suspenders. In common with the majority of ammunition pouches, each case had strips on both sides for attaching hand grenades.
