Re: german ww2? or repro flare/smoke box
You are correct. The strap, while original, does not belong to the box.
Not realy my thing, but I think it is OK? These have only really been faked in the past 10 to 15 years to the best to my knowledge?
Cheers, Ade.

Thanks for the info Signalman. It did not occur to me to think of DDR production/NVA issue.

Hi Ade,
Signalman is correct.The presstoff is post-war,even if the construction's almost identical to the originals'.The strap doesn't belong to the pouch and the only "period" parts are the cartridges!

The presstof have totaly been use in the 2ww and is more common than leather. The box looks absolutly right and does not look like ddr/nva but it can be a reproduktion and it sure looks to good/new in my eyes .. If it has WaA markings in the presstof on the side it might be original.

If it does smell like new leather it is for sure a repro

Re: german ww2? or repro flare/smoke box
Hello, there is NO question about it. The box is post war DDR. The ink stamp inside the lid is ONLY a post war DDR mark, among other details which are better off left unsaid. Note, Waa marks have been faked on these.
