"New" MP40 mag pouches

[me6_130]

I don't have an MP40 but I do have quite some mags, so I have adquired a couple mag pouches in this last month. I already had an early canvas one (pre 1939?) you can see in post #66 in the following link:

#1 Is a salty blue canvas with leather attachments. Maker seems to be something like xxxx Winkler, 1941. Can anyone complete the maker?

#2 Is black leather with partly sewn, partly riveted attachments. Maker is gyb 194(4), WaA 668 , as can be found on some MG34-42 late war gunner pouches.

Both I have restored to their former glory....

Well, seems I've found the maker of the blue canvas. It could be Warlter Winkler, in Spandau. Shape and style of the stamp coincides. Possible 3 letter code would be ksd and WaA14. Seems they produced presstoff binocular cases also.

see pics.
