Stuart Bates Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 I was given this cartridge pouch but have no idea of its provenance. If anyone can help with an ID I would be most apreciative. Stuart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mervyn Mitton Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 This brass cartridge pouch has a small label saying it was used in the Balkans Wars - and that it was for loose powder. This sounds a reasonable explanation and must make it - if the info. is correct - date back to the 17th or 18th centuries. The German War Bands were very active in Europe at that time. I haven't looked Balkans Campaigns up - however, I think it would be worthwhile to do so. Should it be for that period, then it was probably matchlocks in use - this would make this a very collectable item. Mervyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
