Boy, you're not kidding, Pete, the gavel down price will probably be high in triple figures! Sure would like to see the serial numbers on the magazine bottoms.

From the appearance of the snaps, is it possible that the pouch may be "Dutch"

I may be all wet, but it all looks like aftermarket stuff to me. Look at the follower buttons on the "Navy" mags.

Well Ron, after all that turkey your brain is working better that mine (not to say your eyes as well). Those follower buttons definitely do not look original to me, not to mention the blued magazine tubes. I don't recall ever seeing genuine Navy magazines with concentric circled wood bottoms and blued tubes. Something appears very wrong here. Maybe there shouldn't be a feeding frenzy after all!

I am not entirely positive guys, but this seller who represents himself as a resident of Malden MA is actually in Bulgaria. It could be a tough deal.. I have dealt with Nikolay before on a sideplate. We mutually agreed to termintate the deal because of the misrepresentation of item location. Just a bit of helpful input.

I'm doing this from memory, but the producer of the pushbuttons was located somewhere in the German/Polish border territory. Needless to say they were probably bombed out of business in the 1940s.

I'd say the pouch is pre-1945. The magazines look a bit fishy (and the 7-round remark is nice). I think it's an old commercial mag pouch, 'dressed up' with some navy-lookalike magazines.

The pouch is interesting; the mags are pure crapola.

This pouch is interesting untill one notices that the left top has been cut away and the right closure snap is torn out. It might be rare but the condition is poor.
The magazines are what Tom says they are...Jerry Burney

____ I think those magazine bottoms look like some kind of polymer, or plastic. The "wood grain" looks suspicious, the color is wrong, and they have no ageing of shape, much less dings etc.
