Straps for gascan!

Ciao guys,
I made some photos at different straps for my Gasmask.
For convenience, I used mainly the short pieces are easier to remove.
Starting from left to right you can see several differences as well as materials and as processing:

But the "winner" is this last, a superb example of a private soldier made.....I love this one...you can see an early strap with leather reinforced insert....simply superb IMO:

Giancarlo, you always do a great close up photo shoot of different styles of examples. your threads are a great resource to us all. (and great looking straps by the way) keep up the great work and research. Glenn

Glenn, you are always present
I'd like collect and share the different styles for many things likes canteen, mess tin and gasmske.
I also like helmets and uniform.....but this way is to much expensive unfotunately

Giancarlo,

Killer set of straps.

The late war straps with the bent wire hooks are the best. I have to take a look at some of my late war rucksacks.....it think they have a similar style hook.

As always my friend thanks for sharing.....

Thanks for your kind words Glen

question on bent wire straps. has anyone ever seen this version dated '43? I ask because I just purchased a set of Y straps with the bent wire back strap and the shoulder straps are RB#/'43 dated. the back strap looks like its original to the set but one never knows. so Im trying to see if this version was indeed used in late '43.
