Are these original Y Straps??

[Glenn McInnes]

I have been going through some boxes of field gear and found these..Are they original late war Y straps, or post war made using some original parts?

The back strap looks like it was taken from a set of Cavalry Y Straps and these have a RB#. If some of the leather looks blue it is actually grey.



Thanks

Glenn, my guts telling me they look real. I like the whole construction and not surprised they don't look a-typical. Mike.

It is a strange combination but in hand they look good,my thinking was something last ditch late in the war...My main concerns are the following.

1) The main straps leather is not as wide as normal Y straps.(see attached photos)
2) The straps are just natural tan leather on the exterior.
3) The 2 main strap upper D rings are different.

They added leather under the O-ring and added supporting straps.

Great,that would explain the grey leather then...Are these worth anything?

I think likely modified from Luftwaffe Y straps.
