    wwii style wwi pouch?!

    Hey guys,

    I was at a re-enactment event (wwii) and an old man came to me,
    he showed this pouch and asked if it was an original like we had on (we had repro german wwii pouches), i said to the man that it looked like one but it was wwi dated and that i don't know anything about it, he asked me what it was worth, i realy didn't know, the pouch was a bit more dirty so i said wwii pouches in this state go for around 25-30, he said i could have it for 10 euro
    The old man found it right after the war (wwii) in the Arnhem forrest!!
    Well after some quick cleaning later on i saw it was in much better state then i thought, its very nice, even has all the dividers inside

    Its dated 1913 with Berlin above it and above that something else wich is hard to read.
    I have no idea about it, i hope some of you can help me

    I'm collecting anything related to the towns Castricum and Bakkum during WWII.
    Also soldbucher from 116pzdiv. And 1944-1945 eastfront pockets, kampfgruppe and Oder front.

    Rick,

    Only two of your three pictures are showing up. Your pouch is either a Patronentasche M09 or M11, depending on the number of cartridges it holds. The M11 was thinner, like the WWII era pouches. The brass rivets and ring are consistent with a pre-1916 pouch. I can make out the location of the manufacturer, but I can't see the manufacturer name.
