A selection of Y-straps

[Luciusdegeer]

Gentlemen,

I want to share my Y-straps with you. Last pair (1943) I found last week at the La Gleize show, which was very good for me! The 1939 strap (Graf) was a lucky find of last year's Ciney (april 2011).
Just to showmaker's variations and markings

Greetings,

Lucius

Hey Lucius !

Very nice selection of straps !!

Could you show us some detail of the 1939 strap ? (just to compare it with mine )

just for fun, a few of mine... never mind the bad lighting.... I didn't know how to take good pictures then

Hi Daniel,

I looked for a pre-war example for five years, because it's the topic of my collection (RW and early WH) and because I have a very early A-frame. Will post pictures of it later; not in very good shape, in canvas with alu hardware (not in leather, the 'wet dream' of Tom).
Also a Ciney or a La Gleize find (4 or 5 years ago)... I love those great shows!

Y-straps and A-frames were already in use during the may/june 1940 campaign, albeit in very small numbers. Some very nice pictures exist, like a Sani treating a wounded Landser with Sturmgepäck.

Lucky You!!!
