$25.00

A new reproduction of the leather ammunition pouch adopted in 1915 by the Canadian Army to replace the failed 1899 Oliver equipment. THIS IS ONE POUCH ONLY. Other pieces of the 1915 equipment are sold separately. Please see my other listings. The 1915 backpack and haversack are still in development.In 1915 the Canadian Army finally recognized that the Oliver equipment adopted in 1899 was a failure. Unable to produce their own Mills web equipment, the Canadians opted to modify the 1915. This second pattern ammunition pouch was the only completely new item in the 1915 equipment. Two pouches were normally worn with this set. According to references, 50,000 sets of 1899 Oliver equipment were converted to 1915 configuration, but since each new set used two pouches instead of one, that left them short 25,000 pouches. These Mk II pouches were designed to make up the difference.Pouch measures 7 inches wide, 6 1/2 inches high, with a 2 1/4 inch gusset.I combine shipping on multiple item purchases, so wait for a final invoice after you are done shopping.
