I have never seen or heard of web pouches for the 98k specific, although that doesn't mean they don't exist. Of course, there were canvas web pouches for k-43, ect. so perhaps some late war ones were made. As a matter of fact, I have always wondered why they didn't mass produce them out of canvas .
Anyone else have any info?

Does any one have absolutely any information on such a thing?

Who would use such a pouch?

Any surviving examples?

Maybe a snipers piece of field gear?

Thank you,
Michael

This have been discussed in many years, and both K98k and the G/K43 have been presumed to have webbing pouches, but no one could provide a example who was 100% legitim. IMO: there dont exist, otherwise 44-45 dated K98k and K43 pouches would have been found years ago, and it havent been. Only examples that are been found is post-war production and reproductions.

I've never seen a WW II 98k pouch in web either. If they did/do exist, why assume they are sniper specific???????
