WW1 Mills Pouch w/ Two-Tone Magazines for .45 Colt 1911 Pistol

This is a nice set of original Colt 1911 two-tone magazines.   They come inside an original unissued canvas mag pouch mfd. by Mills and dated Oct. 1918.   It still has its original instruction sheet inside.   I found a handful of these (pouches) years ago at a show when they were being sold off as surplus...supposedly by Israel.  Some were Mills and others were by Russell.   The Mills pouches all had original instruction sheets tucked inside.  They were stored perfectly.  Just beautiful...nice unfaded butternut canvas with perfect hardware...even the copper springs inside the clasp holes are still bright.   Both magazines are in fine+ to excellent condition with strong temper lines.   Would make an excellent addition to a Colt 1911 or holster rig.
