I have an ammo pouch with some names on it that came from Yugoslavia. I want to attempt to contact some of the names on the pouch. The first person on my list is a Major Novi Pazar. I think he was serving during May 1987 and possibly a few years surrounding it. In front of his name and rank is the number 104, I am not sure if this is a company number or what. Anyone who knows how to get Yugoslavian military records or knows this guy, I would greatly apprecaite your assistance, Thanks a lot.

This is a leather pouch with brass rivets to close it. I do not know which country used it, I suppose Yugoslavia. It is intended to carry 10 round stripper clips used to feed the SKS carbine.

Also, there is another....I am not sure what it is but I believe it is a name, it is Sabahudin Lukac. The "c" in Lukac has a > over it that is pointed down.

In addition, It didn't actually say "Major" in front of Novi Pazar, it said "Maj." I assumed it stood for major but could it mean something else?

I know that Novi Pazar is a name of a city in the Raska ("Sandzak") region of Serbia.

So you find a name on an old pouch, do you think they guy will be interested in having contact with a kid in the US, who cant speak or write their language?? The former Yugoslavia is no more, the country has been fragmented, its still rife with ethnic tensions and certain members of the former Armed Forces are wanted for War Crimes and ethnic cleansing.
No country carries records of who pouches would have been issued to, from 20 years ago, there can also have been a few guys with the same name.
But I doubt if anybody will help you after all you were the enemy back then. (NATO & US)

It could be a list of places the soldier that had it traveled to or fought at. Is it a US, western or communist style ammo pouch even.
