Original German WWII MP28 SMG Magazine Pouch by Otto Sindel of Berlin - Dated 1935

Original Item. Only One Available. The Haenel MP 28/II was designed by Hugo Schmeisser in the late 1920s as an improvement on his earlier MP 18/I submachine gun. The MP 28/II followed a similar layout to the MP 18/I, but introduced several new features, such as a reconfigured magazine feed taking 20 or 32-round Schmeisser pattern box magazines instead of TM 08 "snail magazines" (this feature was later retrofitted to some examples of the MP 18/I), and a fire selector switch above the trigger which included a mechanical safety. The bolt and recoil spring were also redesigned, and an adjustable tangent rear sight was fitted in place of the MP 18/I's flip-up sight.

This is a scarce triple magazine pouch for the MP28, with the original leather strap closure. The set is in good order minus that the belt loop to the back is broken off of its bottom rivets. The back of the pouch is marked:

OTTO SINDEL
BERLIN
1935

This was a known maker of these pouches and other leather accoutrements. A great example minus the belt loop breakage, ready for display!
