Utilized frequently by Fallschirjaeger formations. Constructed from deep blue/black canvas with leather flap tabs and tan canvas fittings, this pouch is configured to carry eighteen flares. The exterior is unmarked, with the inside of the flap bearing a faded "1942" marker's mark and a rectangular "Nazi eagle" stamp. The flare loops are arranged in three rows of six, with a hardwood spacer in the bottom and a lightly canvas pouch with strap. The belt loops are detachable, secured with a pair of metal eyes and fitted with "LUX" stamped metal tips, and the shoulder strap (possibly a replacement) is fitted to a pair of D-rings on the sides with quick-release aluminum clips. Similar example pictured and described in the book "Afrika Korps" by Kurtz.
