Hello,
You should clean the pouch and threat the leather a bit. Than you should be able to read it. Its already so well visible, that a bit of cleaning is enough.

I also do that when I've dug up leather.

Hello

I have seen that stamp before on leather items ( Y-straps and pouches etc...)
The S stands for " Karl SEEGER Lederwarenfabrik in Offenbach "
Just as a foot note ,the factory still exist and they still produce leather goods both in Offenbach and Berlin.
Hope this will answer your question.

Hi,
I've finally managed to read the stamp : SEEGER OFFENBACH 1939. Thanks a lot for the help.
