Canadian Pattern 1964 Grenade Pouch

Canadian Pattern 1964 Grenade Pouch, Velcro belt loop. The Canadian Pattern 1964 equipment normally consisted of a 2 1/4" (5.7 cm) wide waistbelt with green plastic buckle, "Y Strap" brace and (left to right)gas mask and carrier, bayonet, mess tin carrier, canteen carrier, grenade pouch and compass case. No magazine carriers were produced for the WE'64, rifle magazines were carried in purpose designed pockets in the Combat uniform. The grenade pouch was similar in design to the mess tin carrier, but considerably smaller in size. Capacity was supposed to be two M26 or M67 (C13) fragmentation grenades but the fit was so tight that soldiers said that you could only fit one and one-half grenades into it. Five V40 "Mini Frag" grenades fit in the pouch quite nicely. Soldiers often used the pouch to carry the cleaning kit for the SMG. The velcro loop on the bottom of the grenade pouch was intended to carry the grenade launcher for the FN C1 rifle.
