Default Borchardt double mag pouches

A few years ago I found out in Germany a strange and unknown double mag pouch that I suspected would fit the Borchardt magazines. My suspicion was correct since, with the help of my french friend Dr Claude Aubert who owns some Borchardt pistols, we could verify that the Borchardt mags fitted perfectly my pouch. A few weeks later I sold this pouch and I forgot it. End of the first part of my story.
Second part: Recently I found out another same pouch (in Germany-Nürnberg), in better condition, and I verified again that it fitted perfectly the Borchardt magazines. The internal side of the leather wears all the so specific marks (traces ?) of the Borchardt mags: on the closer flap, and inside the two tube-emplacements.
There is really no doubt that these pouches have hosted Borchardt magazines. Or I am willing and anxious to know which other existing pistol do have a magazine with exactly the same special size and specifications as the Borchardt magazine !
I sent at the time privately these photos to Mr Ron Wood, George Anderson, and to Joel G. who has several Borchardt pistols in his important collection in France.
My second pouch is pictured on the 3 last photos (all the other photos are of the first pouch that has been sold). My 2nd pouch has been recently repaired (stitching of the closure strap) but I do not have yet the photos of the restored pouch.
