Are this ww2 ammo pouches or are they post ww2 (comunist)

[mihnea]

The first two are original, the third one I'm not 100% sure only 80% (the picture showing the back is blurry).

The post war ones have a oval imprint in the leather on the back inside it is written the manufactuerer and the year of production (many times the text is indiscribable). But the ones made in WWII had no markings (somtimes a number imprinted in the back but not always) so if they have a oval they are post war.

So those 3 are ww2 romanian ammo pouches. This is the comunist one stamped on the back HERBAK JANOS 1951.

I'm intrigued by the name of the producer I expected something more communist.

I have noted an interesting thing on most of my WWII ammo pouches (except one that I’m not keeping because of the lack of space) the closing bolt (pin, I don't know how is it called) is made from brass.

You can see it in this picture. I believe is a distinctive sign of the WWII ones (probably from the beginning of the war).

Here is a different bolt from the third ammo pouch it is similar to the comunist one.

A very interesting picture, so this is third ammo pouch that is similar to the one made in '51. This new fact makes me believe that it not WWII but post war.

Could you, please, post some pictures of the interior, I'm very curious how it looks inside.

[Claudiu1988]

Here is the comunist one and the other that is not marked. I belive that the third ammo pouch is also comunist. What do you think?

[Claudiu1988]

Here is the interior.

So mihnea what do you think?

I think that the first 2 ammo pouches are ww2 and the last are post ww2.
