WW1 GERMAN CARTRIDGE POUCHES, 1909
1909 Cartridge pouches in Brown Leather.
Each of six pouches in two sets of three holds four five round clips of 7.92mm cartridges, a total of 120 rounds.
The weight is held even by means of a ring at the rear of each triple pouch, hooking onto the Knapsack brace belt. See Item A0369
Your comments:

- I own 4 lots of 1909 German triple ammo pouches. Mine can only accommodate three loaded clips per pouch, which is a total of 45 rounds of ammo per triple set. After reading this article, I attempted to fit 4 loaded clips into one pouch. However, this was physically impossible.
