K98 carry case, anyone have one?

I’ve seen them in a picture or two and realized I’ve never seen a real one, does anyone have a legit example? Love to see it if so.

I’ve never seen one. Got a photo?

Only one I could remember where it was. Look at the zoomed in photo, they appear to have a closure on the butt, ie probably not just a zelt wrapped around them. Published in “Fighter” 1979

I've never seen one, could be some enterprising clothing guy that made them.

Yeah who knows, pretty cool. Makes very much sense for Africa of course!

I know in modern (current) military aviation (US Army) there is an Aviation Life Support Equipment (ALSE) shop that has an issue sewing machine and all the doo-dads to sew up equipment, survival vests, etc. It stands to reason that the ability to do stuff like that was also part of an aviation unit then.

In looking at the cases in the rack two things are observed. They are upside down as stored in the rack, since the butt of the rifle will be where the opening or flap is. Secondly, there appears to be a external pouch near the center of each case. Whether these are copies or taken from captured British stocks, the similarity to web cases used for the Enfield Mk1 #3 cannot be overlooked:
