Extremely Rare WW1 German Ersatz M.G.08 Tool Kit

An extremely rare M.G.08 tool kit housed in an ersatz hessian & leather cornered pouch, the fixing strap is clearly stamped with the makers name De La Croix ,Nache, Berlin.
The large M.G.08 spanner is also clearly stamped on one side with the makers name Eduard Engels - Remscheid and M.G.08/15 U 16 (1916) to the other side, although there are two small tools missing this remains a very rare item especially the ersatz pouch.
The pouch has some wear/staining to the hessian along with some light cracking on the leather straps + damage in places on the corner guards, typical oil smell & to the touch.
An amazing item.
