SS signed amo pouches

[grzegorzt]

Hello ,
What do You think about these markings on amo pouches? A friend of mine have found these items in big stock of other pouches. Al items have the same price, about 10 euro for one.

The second one looks more like a messed with luftwaffe, the first one looks like a more than salty one, IMO.

I also own a set of K98 pouches which are SS marked, prewar dated, also in brown. These supposedly are SS-VT pouches and have typical pre-war unit markings stamped on the inside flaps as well as totenkopf skulls stamped in the pebbled leather... Sorry I can't post pictures but they look really authentic. Could SS-VT (Totenkopf troops) have been issued brown K98 pouches in the 30's? or is brown usually only Luftwaffe or DAK, and the markings are bogus? Nick

thanks for confirming, makes sense than. I went ahead and used these pouches on a LW mannequin...being brown, but I never had any doubts about the (prewar) totenkopfverbande unit markings and skull markings on them, its original for sure and you've now confirmed its a ligit conbination! Thanks! Nick
