Original Japanese WWII Waist Belt with Pair of Late War Rubberized Canvas Arisaka Ammunition Pouches - Damage
In stock
-
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice pair of Japanese Late WWII Ammo pouch for Arisaka Rifles, made from rubberized canvas. 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. These were worn 2 to 3 on a belt, and all types are hard to find. This is a good set of two on an original leather belt.
The pouches show heavy signs of use, and the small rubberized canvas straps at the top are broken on one box. On the other box, one of the two belt loops is broken off. The pouches have all components, and there are even areas where there is rubber "squeeze out" where it was stitched. The different pieces of canvas used can even still be seen. However, as with almost all Japanese rubberized canvas items, the rubber has become nearly rock hard, and it is very difficult to open them.
Also included is a leather waist belt with metal buckle that the pouches are attached to.
A very rare set to find complete, ready for repair and display.
