As far as I know there did not exist cloth G43 pouches. (at least that is what a well known member of this comunity says, and I have no reason to disbelieve him....)

The only genuine pouches I trust are the tan vinyl ones and the leather ones...

Just my 2 cents.

I dont really like that pouch, here is a good thread that talks about them and shows original examples:

Coco,

I would be very sKeptical of these pouches. The "D" ring is not a standard ring for K43 pouches to begin with. The canvas does not have the look of german textile either.

I would pass if it were me.

Take a look at this site. It will give you a better understanding of the different makers and types.
