I recently bought this gas mask and canister. However, the carrying strap does not appear to an original webbing type, but of a herringbone weave fabric, and with a thin black line off centre. Moreover, there is some apparent home stitching in the vicinity of the buckle.
It certainly looks period, but can anyone comment on whether this is an original strap?
As an aside, I have read that the blue marked parts denote those made with ferrous material which might effect compass bearings.
