Nice straps, Kuligow! This looks like what I want jolly old St Nick to leave under my christmas tree... Also looks like a nice set of straps for a food carrier too?
Rick Admiral, I never saw a set of straps like the brown ones you posted, but I too think they are probably postwar Czech, but definitely not of the "normal" pattern. I do own a set of "postwar" Czech straps, made from prewar French ones with wartime German small straps and wartime german hook-buckles - these would never fool anybody - but the ones you posted might if they were carefully dyed and had a different back pad.
Sometimes it pays off, not to know just the wartime versions, but also the postwar types too. Yet I never saw one quite like yours.
And there are many variations out there too. Years ago I saw a nice set of infantry type Ystraps...at least, 15 years ago when I didn't know so much they looked nice. It had a sort of unscrewable stud on the back leg, other wise seemed normal...even had a makers mark on the back ring pad. Peering intently at the marked I could make out Hecho...Mexico.
I'd never heard of Mexican army Ystraps and never saw any since...but...there are a few out there, as well as others from other times and places...
