Well my German is pretty rusty but it looks like the paragraph on page 152 says: "Cleaning pouch for the Revolver 82/89 with a brass cleaning rod, grease container, cleaning cloths and ear protection. Brown leather with an aluminum closing stud, on the backside two belt loops..."

Then on the next page it starts out describing the "brass cleaning tool Model 1882/1900 for the Revolver model 1882, 1882/29 and the Parabellum Pistol Model 1900, 1900/06 and 1906/29. Later probably for material and cost savings the cleaning tool was constructed of sheet steel and spotwelded at the neck." No mention on the second page of the "cleaning pouch".

I see nothing there that would indicate that the pouch was ever intended to be issued with the Luger, only the brass or steel cleaning tool.
