This is a very nice example of a Japanese Late WWII Ammo pouch for Arisaka Rifles, made from canvas. This example does not appear to be rubberized, so it has survived rather well. As the war progressed and materials like leather became scarce, Japan turned to rubberized canvas to make items such as slings, bayonet frogs, belts, and ammo pouches. The rubberized items were especially more feasible for use in tropical jungle environments, where the heat and humidity would result in the previously issued leather items having a very high attrition rate. These were worn 2 to 3 on a belt, and all types are hard to find. This is the first non-rubberized canvas example we’ve offered.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pouch shows signs of honest period use, and storage wear that has accumulated from decades of storage and handling. It has all components, including the original leather closure tab. Thankfully, as this is not rubberized, the canvas is not rock hard and is still pliable, though there is some heavy fraying of the canvas in spots, and one of the two leather belt loops has heavy stitch repairs. There may be faint Kanji stamps under the lid but we cannot tell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJapanese WWII Field Equipment is getting quite rare to find on the market currently. This would make a great addition to display with your Arisaka rifle!\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!----\u003e","brand":"Original Items","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45096350580805,"sku":"ONJR26MYAS051","price":295.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1524\/1342\/files\/ONJR26MYAS051__03.jpg?v=1780499801","url":"https:\/\/www.ima-usa.com\/products\/original-japanese-wwii-late-war-canvas-jungle-arisaka-ammunition-pouch","provider":"International Military Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
