Japanese flea market finds

[Tinhat]

Thanks for the feedback Rod, although the seed of doubt if firmly planted, I'm leaning towards them being good, I've done a search of available repros and not found one of the same construction, and somebody would have put a lot of effort into aging the top one of the two that would put them into the 'fake' bracket rather than repro.
They were at the bottom of a box of other stuff that I have no doubt was original (but no room in my suitcase), and I have bought from this guy before and his prices have always been on the cheaper side.

My wife, who has long had doubts about my sanity, thinks I have surpassed myself smelling and exmaining belts....it's a great hobby.
