straps

They appear to be originals with one atypical detail. In my experience the ends of the wool piping do not end up turned inside the strap like synthetic piping normally does. Even on early tropical wool-piped straps this tends to be the case.

That's an interesting observation by Pauke.

[stephen grund]

What does this observation mean, there is a chance these are not real?

[longislandercjv]

Others have given you their opinion that they are original.

Pauke has given his comment about the atypical piping configuration.
Neither he nor I have given opinion about their originality.

I would not buy them, nor did I bid on them on Ebay.

That said, I guess Mr. Singer's phrase "I could entertain doubts"
is appropriate.

As I have stated in several recent posts, collecting shoulder straps has
become a minefield.

I bought these from a werhmacht awards member not ebay. I thought after all the comments from members I would have been safe with this purchase. The overall construction looks too nice to me to be fake and I've seen some fakes, just my opinion.

[stephen grund]

I am happy with the comments leaning towards them being original and with my purchase!!!

That is what collecting is all about!
Each collector must make up his own mind
and be happy with each addition to his collection.
