    Early y-straps

    Hi. This Y-straps looks like on early but I'm not sure that are original? Maybe post-war Austrian

    Best regards.

    The brown leather could indicate pre or early war, however the pouch clips at the end of the main straps are generally attributed to later war y-straps. These appear to have aluminum D-rings on the main strap as well as aluminum rivets holding the secondary straps and the belt hook looks to be aluminum. I can’t see if the back strap rivet is aluminum.
    I’m guessing that these are early war Y-straps that have had the pouch hooks replaced at some point in time.
    By chance are there any stamps?

        That's correct, from late 1943 to 1945

          Thanks guys for comments. Unfortunately Y-straps haven't any stamps. Are you certain that are original german IIWW?

          Best Regards, Piotr.
