Hi Scott,

I have got a same pouch, only mine is black leather. With WaA 286 stamp.
Mine is holding a desk-telephone (amtsanschliesser) without the horn. The horn comes in an other pouch.

Hi Francois,
Thanks for the info. Do you have any pics you could post? The WaA mark on this looks like WaA195. It also has a maker mark of "epf 1941".
Still would like to know what a "Richtkreise31" is, if any body could enlighten me, please?

Hi Scott,

at last here are the pics you asked for.
My pouch is marked with WAa 286, a very early one from 1936.
The telephone is from 1941, it can be connected to a fieldtelephone.
