British Army 58 Pattern Ammo Pouch (Right) – Grade A Heavyweight Olive Canvas | Right-Hand Side Issue | Authentic Cold War Webbing The Backbone of the British Infantry Loadout The 58 Pattern Right-Hand Ammo Pouch was a critical component of the British soldier's webbing for over three decades. Crafted from the legendary heavyweight, rot-resistant cotton canvas, this pouch was designed to carry SLR magazines or grenades while standing up to the mud and grit of Northern Europe and the Falklands. What sets the Right-Hand pouch apart is the specific inclusion of side loops designed to carry the L1A1 SLR Bayonet scabbard. Sourced in Grade A condition, this is a "bombproof" piece of kit that offers incredible vertical storage for modern tools, making it as relevant for a bushcraft belt as it is for a museum display.
