Hello to John and others,
Here is a selection of mine, although I'm not a strap/board collector I do need them for tunics, all are from pairs.
I have to agree with Dave on this matter, as far as non tailored slip-on straps, they were made in different lenghts/wides, but I don't think that we can have a guideline in them...they are indeed like "snow flakes"
from left to the right : a early-war one, a mid/late war one, and another early-war inf. strap... the middle one came from a M40 (!) and the shorter left one from a geatcoat!
