I rarely see these pouches. The ones I do see are either brown or black. At a Las Vegas show several years ago, an "authority" on Norwegian 1914's explained to me that one color went to the infantry and the other to a different type unit (artillery?). Is there a distinction? When I do see these pouches w/the correct mags they are generally priced over $400.

It was believed that the brown holsters were army but Karl Hanevik in his book KONGSBERG COLTEN shows brown holsters/pouches marked Norske Marine. There may have been a distinction at some time but black and brown appear to have been used by all branches... I know that the maker marked holsters and pouches are definitely prewar, it gets tricky for unmarked ones, the better construction ones are older. Stuff made in the 1970s and 1980s are clearly made of thin leather.
I decided to sell my 3-mag pouch (excellent condition) and some magazines. I will post them in a week or so, when I can find time.
Thanks
