I have a fuq 45 marked ersatz MG-34 gunners kit, so the maker is legit...

Thats a damned nice sling!
 
There are original fuq44 and 45 G/K43 pouches as well. Also in ersatz material.
 
Looking at not only the construction, but additional markings in ink, looks good to me. Maker "fuq" also made a small contract of P35(p)"Radom" holsters. Of the few I have seen, all were die-struck stamped between the belt loops "fuq | 1942". The code is identified as "Cottbusser Leaderwarenwerk Curt Vogel K.G., Cottbus, Wernerstr. 62."
