I think It' s a repro . As I see its made from leather not from presstoff ( all second model of folding shovel cariers I have seen have been made of presstoff or from synthetic materials - not from leather - those type of second model carrier were ,as I think, made in late 1941 or in early 1942 ). I've seen only first model carriers made from leather and all of them were made to 1941 not later. Also rivests on this carrier look bad for me . Also many other characteristics look bad. I would keep away from this piece of s..t. But I 'm not the best speciallist so I would wait for other opinions.
