Looks original to me. It's from the 1 Kompanie of Panzer Ersatz Abt 15.

Panzer-Ersatz-Abteilung 15
Panzer-Ausbildungs-Abteilung 15
Panzer-Ersatz- und Ausbildungs-Abteilung 15

Formed on 26.08.1939 - in Sagan in Wehrkreis VIII.

Thank you
So much for the info I’m new to these
How hard are they to trace back to the soldier
Thanks again brocky

What personnel records that do remain were formerly held by the Deutsches Deinstelle, WaSt, in Berlin. These have now been relocated to the Bundesarchiv in Freiburg. Due to data protection it is not possible to find out the owner of your ekm. Suffice to say that as it is complete the owner is likely to have lived through the war and captivity.

I understand that pouches were privet purchase & not an issued item. as there 16 different ones that I have, all different. and you will see pictures of them being worn, with pouches and no pouches being worn.
