A FOUR CELL INDIVIDUAL FLAP XX BOX MAGAZINE POUCH.

Every once in a while I get lucky...... on the internet... eBay auctions! I found this original Thompson

pouch. It is a fairly rare version of the four cell individual flap xx box magazine pouch. Typically,

all of these pouches have the marking "RUSCO." This ink stamped lettering stands for the Russell

Manufacturing Company, often marked on one of the single flaps. This example doesn't have any

stampings. It is possible that the ink has rubbed off or that it never was stamped going out of the

factory. It is just neat to find something different...that drives Tracie nuts.
