Launcher Pouches
The pouch for the grenade launcher appears to be available in several variations. Two shown above, one with a seam on the front & the other with no front seam. Note green & grey strap variations. I am interested in more data on these. If you have one, (or more) could you email me at fieldgear@xtra.co.nz & tell me maker code, date, WaA, strap color (if fitted) & which style it is. (seam or not) Thank you!! The early pouch below.
Early leather pouch with D rings rather than the usual fixed strap. Click here for more details. Comparison of 3 leather variants at right.
