Austrian FAL Leather Pouch
This is a double magazine pouch issued by the Austrian Army for the FAL rifle, which Austria fielded as the StG 58. It carries spare magazines in two separate compartments, each under its own flap, so you can draw from one side and keep the other closed. Collectors, reenactors and FAL owners use it to complete an Austrian load-out with the correct issued leather rather than a generic pouch.
Features
- Austrian Army Issue — Originally issued government equipment, not a commercial copy.
- Sized For FAL Magazines — The compartments are cut for the FAL's 7.62x51mm box magazines, the rifle Austria designated StG 58.
- Twin Compartments — Two side-by-side pockets, each with its own flap, let you open one without exposing the other.
- Black Pebble-Grain Leather — The textured, dimpled grain on the outer surface was a common finish on European military leather and helps hide scuffs.
- Strap And Stud Closure — A leather tab on each flap passes through a keeper and fastens over a metal stud at the base of the pouch.
- Riveted Flap Tips — Four metal rivets reinforce the tip of each flap where the closure strap takes the most strain.
- Shaped Flaps — The angled, pointed flaps overlap the pocket fronts to keep dirt and rain off the magazines.
Issued Austrian Leather
Austria adopted the FAL as the Sturmgewehr 58, and this pouch belongs to the leather web gear made to go with it. It is built from thick black leather with stitched seams, riveted stress points and simple stud closures that need no snaps or hook-and-loop. For anyone building an StG 58 display or carrying an FAL, it is the period-correct way to hold spare magazines.

Second one ive boughtAlready had one, ordered another. The pebble-grain leather is thick and the twin flaps stay shut which is more than I can say for the cheap repro pouches. Rear belt loops fit a standard 2-inch web belt no problem. Holds my metric FAL mags tight with zero rattle.
Thick pebble-grain leather feels like itll last decades

Excellent Quality -- No regretsI bought these for holding magazines from the "H&K G3 Magazine Combo" for my PTR 91. The fit was a bit tight, but because the leather is soft and pliable, the leather stretched to fit. Mine came in good/very good condition. A little wear, but all perfectly serviceable with no cracks, rips, or stiffness. The pics are an accurate representation of the condition. These are the price I've found anywhere. From my experience buying from Keep Shooting, the product's quality and value has been quite good -- a reliable brand.

Excellent buyLocal shop wanted $18.50 for pouches in worse shape. Ordered 4 all together. Two dated for 1964 and the others stamps were worn off. Pebble gran awesome on two and others worn smooth, but still in good shape. Excellent price! Would recommend.

Liked them so much I came back for more!Bought a second round of these and was not disappointed! Both the pouches I received were early examples made by the Stolla Wien Company in Vienna, Austria, and are dated 1962. The leather belt straps on the back are undyed, and the pebble grain finish is largely intact on both (near-perfect on one, even). Who knows, with a deal this good, I may even come back for Round Three!

Unbeatable PriceI purchased four of these FAL Pouches, and was quite happy when they arrived. Of the four, one was dated 1964, one was dated 1974, a third bore a manufacturer stamp, and the last was unmarked. Originally Pebble-Grained, two of the pouches were worn to a more smooth finish, while two had almost perfect Pebble-Grain finish. All four were very soft and pliable leather, and still seat FAL magazines perfectly. For less than Three Dollars a piece, you really can't beat this price for a vintage magazine pouch!
