I'm not quite sure what i have here. When I bought my SLR-105 a few years ago, it came with a boat load of mags. Polish, Bulgarian, Russian, E. German. Almost 30 of them. Anyways this was part of that, and I never opened it, as I didn't need to. I threw it in a ammo can and forgot all about it. Just wondering if they have any value, or if I should just pop them open and use them. The last pic shows a piece of paper that looks like it says "2 stuck".

Open them up and see what you have, they aren't worth any more sealed.

Guaranteed if it read "2 Stück" that they are East German.

Yep, that's what the look like to me.

Here is how the mag pouch comes from East Germany stock

I saw an opened EG 74 four mag pouch set like the one pictured above for 200.00 at a gunshow recently. Hard to believe that someone would pay 200.00 for something that sold for 40.00 just a few years back. Glad I got mine back then.

Or $25 a pop from when they had a sale several years ago. But historical prices are meaningless. Have seen a couple of the sealed EG 5.45 pouch sets go fast for a hundred bucks on the EE last year ................

I believe they are worth more sealed.The unopened ones are drying up and going up in price .

I kinda thought that they might be worth little more sealed, especially later down the line. I'm in no need to open them, as I have enough, I mean, a supply already.

I would agree. Just leave it be and shoot the rest...
