Gents,
I'm looking for opinions on hardware used on Luftwaffe flying kit. Specifically Prym fasteners and RiRi zips.
I purchased a pair of well-worn kanalhose a few years ago and am now wondering if I have a repro, reworked originals, or if I'm okay?
The trousers are the unlined blue type. Fairly well worn and with a moderate amount of storage wear. Velvet in the pistol holster and on tops of thighs/knees. Reinforced seat. Suspender rings in front, etc.
They have nickel-plated zips. All marked D.R.P Ri Ri (Ri Ri is in stylized font) on the pullers. The sliders are also nickel-plated but without any markings. Were all RiRi zips marked on the sliders?
I have concerns on the Prym snaps. Marked Prym 6 on the cap ends. The male portion have star patterns on them.
I'm being intentionally vague for a reason. Please bear with me.
