Flare pouches

The flare pouch

By definition, these flare pouches are used by soldiers to transport cartridges on the field.

There are three major models.

The two first are made in leather or Prestoff (recognizable to the smell of tobacco leaf used for cigar manufacturing.

The first one is a black leather having very precise dimensions (23cm x 21cm x 10cm).

It has a sloping lid so different types of cartridges can be ordered (big, medium and small).

It has 18 alveoli on three rows, so each row contains 6 cartridges.

The second model is smaller and has a smaller weight.

The third model is made in canvas. Some variations exist (especially on straps, done in leather or in canvas).

Two colours are available: blue or green.

Inside, at bottom, a piece of wood helps to reinforce the rigidity of the structure and the pouch.
