no.. its not originall.. IMHO

I dont like this red thread in the fabric - its not looking like a real thing .. also studs are strange... - ageing artificiall...

I've seen red threads on pouches that were "certified" original... this striping often appears on tan MP40 types and I heard that that's considered a good sign... and hard to fake... I own a MP40 pouch with a similar red stripe woven into the fabric... Can anybody further comment on this? Thanks Nick

yes - this characteristic red thread is common on late war fabric - but - this is a fake one - originall red stripe fabric looks WAY different..
difference is obvious
