Sergeant Schultz's Ammo Pouches.

[patches]

Curious on the origin of these Schultz always wears, anyone know?

Better yet, where did he get a Krag rifle.

Captured from the Norwegians in 1940 LOL.

Pretty sure that is an American Krag.

Absolutely is a US Krag rifle.  Schultz used this Krag throughout the series.

I think I found a match, Romanian Ammo Pouches. Post WWI/WWII

Found another view, Romanian Troops I think in the 50s, those Ammo Pouches are quite viewable. The helmets look funny right, went looking for images of them wasn't finding anything that looked like these, till we found that they are wearing them backwards for some odd reason, that they are in fact a copy of the Russian Helmets, the Romanians made a copy of their own in the late 40s into the 50s, the Romanian Ssh40.

I a few. I guess a few episodes, 1965, he wears the German WWI M1909 Ammo Pouches, recognizable by their large boxy like construction.

The next question now is how did a set of Romanian ammo pouches end up in a Hollywood studio prop department in the early 1960s? Personally, I know nothing!
