The buttonholes were made in so many different colours , included black ?
Nothing wrong with these which look to use some kind of grey green thread ?
The lining looks to be the classical WH very light Brown cotton used in lining ?

No for me, the insignia style is IMO the typical that you can find in French made fakesCollector of Kriegsmarine and Küstenartillerie items

I never heard of KM fakes made in France and sold in France as so ?
And you don't see so many KM straps around ...
Who's supposed to supply them and how are they exactly ?
I saw you several times talking about that as an evidence but what makes you think that ?
Any pictures sold as repro ? or technical evidences ?
These straps do have the symbol hand embroidered with heavy cotton , as very often in KM badges or straps ?
The repro ( made in Pakistan for example ) you can see are with machine embroidered symbols which are a lot more easy to produce !
Or hand made like all the Paki stuff with heavy modern cotton and of a typical Paki quality straps,not like these ones ...
These are of a german quality machine buttonholes for example , not Paki .

I remember seeing these still exposed later by bundles on Shows where they were ?
Not hand embroidered cyphers ?

HSC sold, many years ago, a lot of these KA shoulder straps with the N and O and the crossed anchors, on feldgrau and dark green cloth, and the winged shell, like these shown in the thread.
After that I have seen them on ebay and shows from time to time, but the first time I saw them and not just a pair was there, so IMO these were made by them.Collector of Kriegsmarine and Küstenartillerie items

But at this ( old ) time they also had hundreds of POA shoulder straps , found in Statni Films stocks , piped in blue / red / yellow ? Which are for sure original ...
So what makes them repro , unless the fact that HSC in Paris was supposed to sell
the "same" straps ?

That's my feeling, many shoulder straps in the same place, same construction with different finished, Northsee and Ostsee Batallions, with feldgrau and dark green base, also KA shoulders with same construction, all in France/Paris/HSC, never seen those model before, ... for me is clear, but it's just my opinion.Collector of Kriegsmarine and Küstenartillerie items
