A Brief History of the Swiss Army Ammunition Pouch:

These unique straps, made from leather salvaged from Swiss Army Ammunition pouches, lend a wonderful vintage look to just about any watch.  The manufacture of these pouches were ordered by the Swiss military from between about the 1890s through the 1960s and were contracted from Swiss saddlers throughout Switzerland.  The stamping show on these straps are the original maker and date stamping of the Swiss saddlers that made the pouches and a small stamping with a Swiss cross, which is Swiss government inspection stamp.
