Original WW2 British 1937 Pattern Thompson Submachine Gun Magazine Pouch (Pouch, Magazine, C.M.T.) – Dated 1941, B.H.&G. Ltd.

An original, scarce World War II British Army 1937 Pattern webbing magazine pouch for the .45 calibre Thompson Submachine Gun, officially designated in British ordnance stores as Pouch, magazine, C.M.T. (Carbine, Machine, Thompson – Stores Ref. A1/AA 1501).

Designed to hold five 20-round Thompson box magazines side-by-side, these specialized pouches were issued to British and Commonwealth Commandos, Airborne forces, and infantry NCOs during the early-to-mid-war years before the widespread introduction of the Sten gun.

Dated 1941 and manufactured by B.H.&G. Ltd. (Barrow, Hepburn & Gale Ltd., London).

Very good, honest wartime used condition.

The heavy khaki cotton webbing remains strong, supple, and free from rot, major tears, or holes, with attractive light service wear.

The original top brass gate buckle and front press-stud are fully intact, functional, and securely attached.
