This is a fantastic lightly used MG 34 gunners tool pouch, made from thick black finished leather, which still contains the lion's share of the original components. Based on the condition, we assume this was one of many that came out of Portugual along with virtually unissued MG 34 parts sets in their original crates, each with their matched tool kits and other components. Other the years the sets have been broken up, and that looks to be what has happened here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pouch is marked with serial \u003cstrong\u003eC 3148\u003c\/strong\u003e on the lid, and still has a functional closure strap, belt loops, and D ring on the rear. It shows light wear, though the interior is stained from contact with the tools and components carried inside. It still has the original compartments and clips, and is one of the most complete sets we have seen in some time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the pouch are the following original WWII Issue items, which fit neatly inside, with the mitt outside:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e- One MG 34 Complete Bolt Assembly\u003c\/strong\u003e, serial number \u003cstrong\u003e4903 II\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is covered with inspection markings.
