Very slight color fading, as is common on these pouches. Contract dated 1963. The US logo on the front, is present.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.These pouches were used to complete the M1956 Canvas Web Gear Sets.Please see photo.PLEASE VISIT OUR EBAY STORE AND SIGN UP FOR OUR FREE MONTHLY NEWS LETTER!!!!!Check out my other items !Please use shipping calculator for shipping cost to your area.
