Is there such an animal? I've never seen one.

That's why the magazines have nubs to lock them together... You just load up all the mags you think you'll need, and hang them off the mag in the rifle.





Seriously though, they did have magazine pouches. They're pretty basic square belt pouches, designed to hold multiple mags at a time. Similar to the old US ALICE magazine pouches or GP/Utility pouches.


Most recently, the Swiss military has adopted a form of modern chest rig/plate carrier, with MOLLE magazine pouches. This is the newest version: https://soldiersystems.net/201...army-mbas-is-coming/

The pouch to the left of the bayonet is one of the two magazine pouches.

In the old days Stg57 had been carried in the chest pockets of the cammo jacket.

If you don't care about coupling them together, remove the nubs. The mags I use have had the nubs milled off. If you're wanting a pouch, I assume you're using the mags; if you're using the mags, you ought not be worried about hurting resale value.

I'm interested in this pouch from a collector's perspective, not a user's perspective.

Gotcha. I have always wondered the same thing, in terms of what the heck they use. The lugs make it real pain. G36 mags are even worse, even with the lugs removed.
