Further developments and improvements and the need for a cheaper mass produced weapon resulted in the introduction of the MP40 in April 1940. Pouches came in the sets of two with each pouch having 3 individual cells for single 32 round magazines. One left and one right pouch.

A wide variety of different materials, colors and designs was used throughout the war. Leather, canvas, rayon and metal were the main. Components in the manufacture of the pouches. On the rear leather strap part it's marked nms or hms? And year 1942 and also Waffenamt code with eagle.
