WWII Sten Utility Pouch Set

The conventional Utility Pouch was designed to carry various sized weapons and magazines. They were sized to carry the Thompson SMG 20 round magazine, Bren Mags, 2" Mortar Rounds, .303 Bandoliers and Enfield Magazines, Grenades and other gear. When the Sten was introduced the 30 round magazines were too long for the utility pouch and this resulted in modifications to the pouches. Eventually these pouches were being manufactured specifically for the purpose without reconstruction of existing stocks of the old pouches. These new pouches are identified by added side tabs that allow for protection from dirt entering the slightly longer pouch. This excellent pair are matched and dated 1943.
