    Shoulder Strap Piping Question

    I have attached a scan of two different pieces of shoulder strap piping. The white piping is a standard type rayon piping that was used on Heer shoulder straps and has a smooth, slick feel. The Panzergrenadier piping has a different texture and weave like being ribbed.

    Has anybody ever seen the green piping in use for either real, or repro straps?

    Thank you in advance.

    Can you feel the piping inside the strap, is it like the M44 strap?

      I own lots of unusual straps with other piping than wool or rayon - most of them from secured sources. Collectors call them often "private purchased". Here are 3 examples:

            The green looks like rayon basket weave piping to me.

              me to as well and very rare find if so
              Give a man an opinion and you feed him for a day,
              teach a man to use the "search" function on the WAF and you feed him for a lifetime.

                  They looks similar to these which are 100% original, basket weave as John has indicated. Jacques
