k98 Pouch question

[rick1]

Not doubting originality, has anyone seen pouches this early made with blackened leather? From about 36 it was KURT SEDEL BERLIN W57 or W35. Perhaps an earlier high quality version?

I've never handled any so early from this maker but it's obvious these are legit. I would assume it is the very first marking style used by this manufacturer, as we can see several other makers markings changed slightly throughout the years from what they began with in the early 1930's. I think this set is uper cool

Very nice early set but $300 seem too much.

Yes I agree...however I'm referring mostly to the pre blackened leather, never seen this before 1940.
