Matching Kriegsmarine K98 ammunition pouches by Offermann 1939

Description

Here is a great story; I had one of these pouches in my possession, bought it at a show a few months ago. I was listing it here on the website and couldn’t read the maker mark very well, so I did a google search to see how it was spelled correctly. Per accident I landed on a militaria collegue’s website, offering the twin of this exact pouch. I bought it and now we have an excellent, genuine and very rare set of Kriegsmarine K98 pouches. Both show similar markings and are made by Fr. Offermann Schm.,  Bensberg dated 1939. Both have a KM acceptance stamp and both show the same amount of wear. Spacers remain intact and leather is supple.
