History

The German 98K standard three-pocket ammunition pouch you mentioned was a commonly used accessory during World War II by German soldiers who carried the Karabiner 98k rifle. These pouches were designed to hold rifle ammunition and other essential supplies. The 98K pouches were typically made from leather and came in various colors, including black.

The "RBN numbered stamp" you mentioned might refer to a manufacturer's code or stamp that was often present on German military equipment during that era. RBN stands for "Reichsbetriebsnummer," which was a numbering system used by the German government to identify manufacturers. Each manufacturer was assigned a unique RBN code. This allowed for tracking and identification of military equipment and supplies.

The K98 pouches were an integral part of the German soldier's equipment, allowing them to carry spare ammunition for their rifles. The pouches usually had three separate compartments, each designed to hold five-round stripper clips of 7.92x57mm Mauser ammunition. This design allowed for easy access and reloading of the rifle in the field.
