They look original to me, the black D ring isn't something I have on mine from memory as I haven't got them on display. Apart from that the construction markings etc look ok. I can't make out the makers name.

Makers markings as follows

lederwerk sedina Finkenwalde 1940

Hi there.

I remembered hearing that black painted fittings can point to them being 'Russian captured', so found the below information.

Four Bees: German K98k Mauser Ammo Pouch, WW2 Russian Capture, Wehrmacht - Russian Front

Opinions welcomed on K98 pouches!

Kind regards,

Will.

Hi,

As only the D ring is a replacement and no other studs have been painted over I'm not sure if it's safe to say this is 100% Russian capture refurbishment. For me the D ring looks like a recent addition but clearer pictures of it would be useful.
