Finally got the missing part for the above set - Hülsenkopfwischer - tool for the K 98, this one dated 1937 by Mundlos, Magdeburg - exactly matched to the above set.

Original Wehrmacht K98 leather sling. Was used post-war by Yugoslavian army. Poor storage condition, has been soaked in olive oil (commonplace in Mediterranen countries, but destroys the leather in time) and some slight insect or rodent damage in places, fragile, no longer usable, only suitable for display. Came without the end piece, extra added.
