Ottoman leather ammunition holder
These 2 seem identical, just the one is missing the outer leather cover. Anyone knows where they come from? They hava a "bosnian" feel to me.

Nice find Eftihis.
They both look Turkish/Ottoman to me. And similar to others I've seen, including one I own. Doesn't look Saudi or Omani. Nor Afghan. Again, nice find. Rick |

I vote for Bosnian or Albanian, the leather work is similar to the selahlik or bensilah. But I also agree with Rick the Turkish ones are also very similar... And are they really Turkish??

I can not comment on actual ORIGIN, but the top pic appears to show the Turkish star and crescent (above the leather lace).
Nice pieces. Stu |

Well the crescent and star means it belonged to amuslim, but was he a mainland Turk or a Balkan muslim?
