    I have these pouches, but have no idea what was carried inside! The more square ones are unmarked, but I have seen these kind marked "BERLIN". The more round one in the middle is marked AM 19 16. I have seen pictures of WW1 soldiers carrying such pouches - all soldiers, so it was something common, maybe ammo?? Thanks for ideas!

    Theodor,

    I am not sure what the Bulgarian pouches are for, but the German examples are for horseshoes. The one with the straps is a "Hufeisentasche" of the pattern worn on the "Bocksattel f?r Artillerie und Train". It looks like the other German one (without the straps) had them at one time and they have been removed.

    Perhaps the Bulgarian pouches were for some sort of artillery quadrant This is just a guess.
