Gewehr43 Magazine pouch authentic?

[Oberschutze]

Hi,
I don't have that much of knowledge about german ww2 field gear, since there are a lot of small details that i still need to find out. Recently I had a chance to purchase this magazine pouch for the Gewehr43 in supposedly unused condition. The question is about authenticity, is it a replica and what are the general things to look for?
With best regards,

Hi there.

This is not my area of collecting, but here is an interesting website that may help -

Claus Espeholt's G43 - Pouches

Kind regards,

Will.

Not my area of collecting either. But looking at the examples in the link from Will could be a good item. The maker stamping inside the pouch, from a German ordanance code reference, the maker = bla - E. G. Leuner GmbH, Bautzen. Quick search of this company and they made many leather holsters, straps, ammo pouches etc. during the war.

The link => One moment, please...

Thank You, i looked into it- so far it is reminiscent to the original "bla1944" manufactured pouch, apart from the D ring and being in mint condition which confuses me, since most of the items i have are in salty condition.

Thanks, bought this one at collectors flee market, it was buried in the pile with other "junk". Not sure about the price, but 65 Eu seems sort of reasonable then.
