K98 Pouch with "gyc" Maker

[Stinch]

Just got in this 1941 dated transitional K98 pouch (steel fittings). Maker stamp is definitely "gyc" but my reference material does not have this German military letter code. This is kind of a stretch, but does anyone know who this manufacturer might be?

[Glenn Barbaritz]

could that be "qyc" by chance instead of "gyc"? Glenn

I think 'qyc' is questionable, as the regular three-letter-codes only go to 'ozz'. The maker behind the code 'gyc' is Walraf Textilwerke, Segeltuch, Weberei,Spinnerei, Rheydt. Somewhat peculiar, isn(t it? The maker is a webbing- an canvas-maker. Perhaps they stiched K98k pouches as well...

I'm looking further,
greetings,

Gentlemen,

the code is more likely to be 'gyo': Hans Dinkelmeyer Lederwaren- und Sportartikel-Fabrik, Jamnitzerstrasze 14, Nürnberg-W.
I overlooked this possibility the first time.

greetings,

I thought it was "gyo" at first but using a magnifying glass, I can see the well defined break in the ends of the "c". There is also a distinct "tail" under each of the first two letters to form the "gy". I only got it today but perhaps I can get better pictures in the sunlight this weekend and post them here. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Michael Heidler's book shows gyc to be "Walraf Textilwerke- Segeltuch, Weberei und Spinnerei.
