Original-issue Greek military grenade pouches built to the classic US M-1956 Load Carrying Equipment (LCE) pattern. Constructed in heavyweight olive drab cotton canvas with blackened steel hardware, these compact belt pouches were standard-issue kit for Greek infantry throughout the Cold War era and remain a favorite among collectors, reenactors, Bushcraft and outdoor gear enthusiasts looking for genuine surplus with real service history.
Each pouch features the signature M56 twin-compartment layout with individual snap-close top flaps, designed originally to carry fragmentation grenades but equally useful for a wide range of small kit — compass, multitool, lighter, spare batteries, hunting calls, fishing tackle, paracord, first-aid essentials, or airsoft/paintball accessories. The characteristic M56 wire belt hooks on the reverse attach securely to any pistol belt or LCE-compatible platform, while the adjustable lower retention strap keeps contents locked down during movement.
