Genuine used Greek Army surplus M56-pattern magazine pouch in olive drab canvas. Built to the US M1956 load-carrying spec with belt hooks, adjustable lower strap, and snap-close flap. Authentic issued kit for shooters, bushcraft, collectors, reenactors, and milsim players.
The Greek Army M56-pattern magazine pouch is a piece of genuine issued surplus straight out of Hellenic Armed Forces stocks. Built on the classic US M1956 load-carrying equipment blueprint, it was standard-issue kit for Greek infantry for decades and served as the go-to magazine carrier for 20-round 7.62 NATO and later 5.56 magazines. Every pouch is an original field-used example — the real thing, not a modern remake — with all the honest wear character collectors and reenactors look for.
Constructed from heavy olive drab cotton canvas with matching webbing, the pouch features a snap-closed top flap with a reinforced tab, internal drainage, and side tabs originally intended for hanging grenades. On the reverse, twin blackened steel slide-keeper hooks attach the pouch directly to a pistol belt, while an adjustable bottom strap with a steel hook secures it to the H-harness or leg — the authentic M56 wear system.
