Pouch, Magazine, M1956, for M1911.45 Pistol, US Army - Original

These are original U.S. Army M1956 magazine pouches, purpose-designed to hold two M1911A1 .45 calibre 7-round magazines. A hallmark of the Vietnam War era, these pouches were standard issue and saw continued use into the 1980s. Crafted in durable olive drab webbing, the pouch features reliable press-stud closures and a rear slider attachment system, allowing for secure placement on an M1956 pistol belt or similar gear. These pouches were highly valued by soldiers for their robust design and functionality in demanding field conditions. Please note that due to the age of these items, the press studs may exhibit a verdigris coating, which is common on brass fittings. This can be easily removed with white vinegar or a similar cleaning solution. Each pouch is in new old stock condition, meaning it is unused but may show signs of long-term storage. The pouches available for sale are similar in condition to those shown in the photographs, though not the exact items pictured. A must-have for militaria collectors or Vietnam War enthusiasts, this iconic piece of military equipment offers an authentic glimpse into the history of U.S. Army field gear.
