This chapter opens probably much variations I don?t have but some variations I want to introduce here :
The complete Pouch:
There is the cleaning kit pouch - contents a 3 language grease can beside the brass tool -
They have the production year stamped on the rear
(probably they come from the Swiss Schmidt Rubin Revolver variations - have seen them on the Revolver holster straps very often, don?t know if they are really issued to the Lugers as complete pouches?)
4 variations without pouch
Nr.1
WWI ore Bern 06/29 ore fake ??
steel cased and spot welded top - with brass accessories -
Rutch is suspicious about that spot welded top, because he denies the possibility of that kind of welding during WWI - but remember the snail drums on Artillery Lugers! They are spot welded indeed!
