Pouch- Possible Reichsmarine?

Helping a buddy, this pouch was bought at a gunshow this weekend. Could the Navy folks comment if this is a WWI RM pouch by the markings and what it was used for? Thanks.

How about a compass??

I pondered that idea. Asking myself, why have a shoulder harness attachment on the rear? The compass wouldn't be that heavy. Is the crown a RM marking?

Wayne, you nailed it. Like in the movie "My Cousin Vinny" when the prosecutor says, "I-dent-it-cal"
Thanks mucho.
