Hi..

Just thought I would pass this on because I think it's a good deal. Under the title "German Rifle Sniper Case Gun Bag Mag Pouch for WWII" for seller militaryuse2014 there is what I think is an original Vietnam war era North Vietnamese sniper rifle carrying bag for the Mosin 91/30 sniper rifle.

I bought 2 the other day for about $20 CDN each plus shipping and they arrived today. My WW2 German sniper rifle will not fit this bag but all of my 91/30 PU snipers (8 in total) will fit them like a glove. It even has the slots in the case so that the rifle sling can be used with the case on.

The bags do not have that repro look to them when you see them up close. They have bits of old white paper adhering in places which I am soaking off. They even have the smell of old WW2 canvas gear and single numbers stamped on the inside.

I would attach pictures but you can check them out on eBay just as easily.

The seller has "more than 10 available" and they are a nice item.

Jim.

I did a Google search and found many different vendors (especially on Aliexpress, the Chinese Ebay) that are selling them from China, all with the same pictures and all listing them from $10 to $25 USD with the same description - "Repro Sniper Case Gun Bag Mag Pouch, Made by linen."

What makes me think they are originals is the smell. I think they're canvas.

They are definitely not made for any K98 sniper. They're much too long.

I buy a lot of repro WW2 gear and these don't look to be repro. I do have many original canvas bags I bought years ago and these are similar in thickness.
 
Sometimes the Chinese sellers do list new old stock as "repro" and I'm not sure why. This could easily be that case. God only knows what firearm they were actually made for though.
 
Another reason I think they're originals is the price. No one is going to be making any money selling repros at the price these are going for.

They are double layered canvas at every point where there might be wear for the PU sniper rifle.

Your probably right.
