LW tropical straps to an medical Unteroffizier..

[Hans Kristian]

Hi Guys,

Bought these straps lucily with full return garantee which I am sure I will have to use.

My view: Nice and very new boards, base-cloth seems very soft compared to original straps I have.
Piping looks OK, but for the rest I really cannot find a feeling that they are original. Which is just too bad.

But please let me hear opinions on these.


Best regards,
Hans Kristian

The piping is likely of WWII vintage but I don't like some of the other materials, I suspect they are reproductions.

nope

I would go for the money-back part of the guarantee.

I suspect they are reproductions.

Agree, not a pair which one would/should feel confident about owning.

I agree to this as well...one could always hope but these are surely not original. They will be returned.

Thanks for the input, it is really appreciated.

A return is a good plan! I have seen these somewhere before.
