Viet Nam issue MP shotshell pouch ?


Recommended Posts

Here is a picture of a black leather pouch that I have owned for years. I don't remember where I found it.

On the back side it is stamped "US BLCO 1962. It holds 5 ea, 12 Ga, shotgun cartridges.

I never knew its intended purpose but for years I used it to hold slugs while deer hunting.

For those of you who own a copy of Bruce Canfields book "Complete Guide to US Combat Shotguns" please go to page 174.

You will see a US Army MP armed with a shotgun and 45. He has a leather magazine pouch for the 45 and another Leather pouch that looks like the pouch I have posted.

 

So,--is my pouch an MP shotshell pouch ,or was the pouch made for some other purpose and adapted by the pictured MP ?

Any VN era MP's out there?

Thanks for looking.
