WW2 British RAF 25 Pattern Ammo Pouch Dated 1943

The WW2 British RAF 25 Pattern Ammo Pouch, dated 1943, is a standard-issue piece of web equipment used by Royal Air Force personnel during the Second World War. Manufactured as part of the 1925 Pattern Web Equipment series, this pouch is constructed from durable, khaki-colored webbing material with metal fittings. The 25 Pattern Ammo Pouch was designed to carry rifle ammunition and small accessories, and features a flap closure secured by a brass button or snap fastener. Stamped with a 1943 date mark, this example reflects wartime production. The pouch was typically worn on the waistbelt as part of the complete webbing set and provided RAF ground crews and other personnel with secure and organized storage for essential ammunition. Its utilitarian design and materials are consistent with other British military gear of the era. The 25 Pattern series served as a predecessor to subsequent webbing designs adopted by British armed forces.
