Hi Christian,
You are right, I have indicated them as Eugen Huber AWM because my pig skin holster is stamped Eugen Huber ... AWM /1 / 15 but it is impossible from the picture clarify the kind of leather used.
I have associated to my Eugen Huber also the magazine pouch Eugen Huber and AWM stamped in pig skin but I do not have the leather attaching part. Personally I guess that they are made from standard leather but it is only my guess.
Hereafter a picture I hope can help you. I guess the historical picture is from George Anderson. You can see a 1915 Mars but it is difficult to understand about the leather type of the others parts.
Maybe your eyes are better than mine.

Unfortunatly the photo is undated therefore I cannot be more precise.

Have fun,
Mauro
