Good evening and Happy Holidays,
I am interested in buying this pair of straps and would like to hear some of your opinions regarding them. Normally I trust my instinct with Heer insignia, but there is something about them that just isn't sitting quite right with me. The seller (Steven, aka. Jg-53) recommended I post them for review so here they are.
I may be wrong, but these straps look alot like the type that were being made and sold by I think "At The Front Militaria" in the USA around 1997 - 2004. They used original wool on the backs, thin linen tongue lining, piping that was a little more fuzzy than what you would find on a strap that is 70+ years old, and very shiny tresse. Their Panzer straps came in both black for wrappers and "bottle-green" for the M-36 tunics. I am not saying with certainty that this is one of their pairs, but before I pull the trigger on them I want to get a general sense of what you all think.
So, what's the verdict? Am I just getting paranoid in my old age or do they rub you the wrong way as well?
Thanks for looking and I wish you all a happy and healthy New Year!
Bob
