    Late War Y-straps - Opinion Need !

    Friend of mine ask me to show those Y-straps and get some informations about their originality. What is your opinion ?? On the last photo ( with markings ) Y strpas are before cleaning ( they were dirty ). those Y-straps are marked in 2 places as you could see on photos.
    Thanks in advance.

    They look ok to me. However, I have never seen a maker markings like those before.

        Hello
        They appear to be good but the marking is kind of suspect to me.
        The one in the center piece looks more like what I would expect to see.
        Best Regards

                  Hello
                  There is something not right about the marking on this pair!!!
                  Since when did the German use "No" on the RBnr ? N o stands for "numero" used only in French ,as far as I know the French did not produce Y-straps for the German . So ,something is not right here with these markings.

                    Pierre,
                    Not true, Germany used "Nr." for nummer AND also "No" for number or numero, which is probably an international designation. I had this stamped on an original Waffen-SS helmet cover, for the size. It was veteran's family bought and an unquestionable original. If we dig harder, I am sure it was used elsewhere.

                      Hello all,

                      the straps look very nice and original! I have seen the stamp in a cirkle before, don't know if it was the same number. Although the the term RB.No is rare, I have also seen it before, here's an example on a Cavallery Boot:

                        Hello
                        We are not talking other equipment here but leather y-Straps ,nor stamps in a circle ,I have a pair with it and on the leather piece ).
                        Something is not right with these straps , the owner claim that they were really dirty ,still the tread is nice and white ??? ,I don't like this stamping at all. Fake and artificially aged Y-Straps IMHO
                        " No " is not international Nr is used .
                        Regards
                        P-Y

                          Thank you very much for your opinion guys.
                          Pierre I'm not owner of those Y-straps . My friend is owner. They were dirty with some oil , dusty or something like that ( also treads were dirty ) but my friend cleaned them up and now they are clean (but in some places leather is darker when in other is brighter - in some places they were clean up very well in some others dirt, oil ( or something like that ) is in leather very deep and it's not easy to clean them up in those places . Those Y-straps are dirty mostly on brown side. I also , as guys said , seen such stamped Y-straps ( in worst condition - in almost abused condition ).
                          Maybe those straps were made somewhere in occupied territories ( Belgium , Norh Italy , Luxemburg ) where "numero" - No - where used instead "numer" - Nr - ( "numero" sound more like italian then french for me ).

                            One more thing - Pierre look on he last photo - you could seen how they were dirty before cleaning . all other photos are after cleaning ( most of dirt and oil is removed but it took a long time to get rid off this mess ).
                            I'd like to point you out on strange S (like S rune ) . Every part on those Y-straps has such S rune .

                              Numero means number in Italian in facts
