AK47 magazine pouches come in three four and five magazine  carriers. They are made in canvas, leather and vinyl in many styles and shapes

These three mag pouches all look about the same, but with a closer look they are all a bit different. Collectors look for these differences

Look closely at the shapes of the flaps, the flap attachments belt attachments, materials used and other minor details and you'll see how these could be considered different variations to a collector.

To determine which factory made these pouches look for the factory and inventory stamps

Other markings to look for are from the people who used the pouches either in the field or after the item was sold to the public

I store this collection in a Wolf ammo box (only it's from 12 gauge shells, not 7.62x39). Most of the pouches fit into this box and it fits on a shelf. Other collectors hang their pouches or collect the rest of the web gear too
