who would have made it? A Pakistani Are they being made as reproductions and trying to be passed off as real? Yes and No..Many are sold to decieve some sold as reproductions. Or is it possible someone a (soldier) had it made to order? Being a philosopher I would say anything is possible..probable..NO.
Because this is thing seems very labor intensive and a correct for fit too the mag to just make a fake?
Ok you want proof? Put your drum in the leather case. Spend a week in the mud, rain and slime of the WW1 trenches..and I can assure you any attempt on your part to recreate such would not be a 10th of what it actually was and then try to extract your rusted drum from the shrunken leather. In a hurry mind you because many Amerikanish are crossing no mans land with bayonets attached to kill you!
Gene, all kidding aside it is and always be a fantasy item. The real German infantry who employed these weapons use a much simpler fool proof method of carrying snail drums in harsh conditions. A simply canvas bag where a buckle was loosed and the drum literally fell into the Soldiers hands.
