Japanese ammo pouch

Nothing fancy but brought back from the CBI by Urban Rock. It's not very supple after all these years but it is in good shape. I think its's rubberized too. I guess to prevent jungle rot.

Nice Army pouch, impregnated canvas for durability and waterproofing.    Scott

Yep, it looks like a front pouch, since it lacks the loops for an oiler that accompanies the rear pouch.  You have to be careful of these, depending upon how stiff it is.  If you try to open-close or bend them too much, they can break or the stitches can separate.  Sometimes you can use a hair dryer to soften them up a bit, if necessary.  Nice example!
