Karabiner 88 muzzle cover made from steel?

[Inf. Div. 121]

Recent discovery from the Eastern front, Karabiner 88 muzzle cover, but not as usually, brass. But made from steel. Have these been seen before?

I can't say that I have seen a steel one.

I do know they made steel Gew 88 covers, as I have a couple of them.
