Original Item. Only One Available. This is a scarce original German WWII G43/K43 double magazine pouch manufactured by C. Pose, Wehrausrüstungen, Berlin and dated 1944. Constructed primarily from tan leather with tan leather belt loops, the pouch was designed for use with the Gewehr 43 and Karabiner 43 semi-automatic rifles and retains its original leather closure straps, fastening studs, belt loops, and clearly legible maker/date marking.

The Gewehr 43, redesignated the Karabiner 43 in late 1944, was chambered for the standard 7.92×57mm Mauser cartridge and represented Germany's most successful wartime semi-automatic rifle. Developed from the earlier G41(W), it incorporated a more reliable short-stroke gas piston system influenced by the Soviet SVT-40 and was manufactured using simplified wartime production methods. The rifle served with frontline infantry units throughout the latter half of the war and was also widely employed as a designated marksman's weapon when fitted with the ZF4 telescopic sight.

Constructed of tan leather, this double ammunition pouch features two separate compartments, each designed to carry two detachable G43/K43 magazines. The original leather retaining straps and fastening studs remain intact and in good condition, while the leather itself is free from any significant damage. The metal fittings exhibit honest oxidation and age consistent with wartime service and long-term storage.

The underside of the left flap bears the original manufacturer and date stamp:

cny 44

This marking denotes 1944 manufacture by C. Pose of Berlin. This is a known maker of holsters and other leather military accoutrements.

The tan belt loops are in good shape with intact stitching. The pouch set is in great overall condition with just storage wear and an overall patina.

An increasingly difficult accessory to locate, this original G43 & K43 double magazine pouch is a fine example of late-war German field equipment. It would make an excellent addition to any collection centered on the Gewehr 43, German small arms, or Second World War militaria.

This example is particularly desirable for the combination of its original tan leather construction, tan belt loops, complete two-cell configuration, intact closure straps and knobs, and clearly identifiable cny 44 maker/date stamp for C. Pose of Berlin. It remains a strong and increasingly difficult-to-find accessory for a collection centered on the G43/K43 rifle system or late-war German field equipment.
