Unknown vintage leather possibly ammo pouch

[Tonomachi]

I found this at the flea market last weekend and was wondering if anyone recognizes it as to which country and era as the inside stenciling is very hard to make out.

Your ammo pouch looks remarkably similar in size and shape to the US 1908 model made for 38 Caliber pistol ammo. It appears that yours has US markings inside the flap. Perhaps an earlier design?

Thanks for you response and I will post this on the US Forum to see if anyone recognizes it.

I put this on the US Forum and members identified it as Romanian (communist era) ammo pouch (see links).

Thanks. It has US on the inside flap, so It puzzles me. Always interesting.

Maybe for export once communism fell ? Just a guess
