Here is a Y strap that I have on Hold at the moment. Is it correct? Is the back strap right? Is this a late war Y Strap? Thanks for your help.

These look like a nice late war set to me. including late war end piece which looks to be ok too ... I allways had a little doubt about these end pieces, but it looks to be an ok one... Do you have a close up of the endpiece ?

Another point to note, is that I think the D rings on the back are the ones that are set at an angle.
This is not a problem in any way, just thought I point it out.
Here is a comparison to illustrate what I mean. The top one is the more common variant and the bottom one has D rings similar to the one you have posted
Hope it helps

It looks as if these might be the one's. It has been difficult getting the right pieces when you do not have knowledge in a particular field. I am getting ready to do a mannequin and this has sure been a learning process for me. I can't say this enough, Thanks to everyone for the help. I'm sure I will be back with more questions later on. I don't know what I would do without this forum.
Thanks to everyone again!

Hello,
I would like to see a close-up of both rivets that hold auxiliary straps...i don't like the different angle positioning of both D-rings, i don't like the difference of thickness of both front straps, i don't like the auxiliary straps made of two different leather....just wondering if it is a put together or not ?Comment
