Not WWII IMHO.

That's what I was thinking.

Hello,
What colour is the base, dark green or black ?
It is always a problem to determine if a private purchased shoulderstrap is original or not due to the lack of usual confection criteria...
I would like to see more and closer photos before giving an opinion....
The only thing i do have to say at the moment is : dont judge it so fast with these photos only

I have seen perfectly original privately purchased or field made shoulderstraps that were far more ugly than this one...
Thanks

The base color is black. I'll post better pictures when I get home this evening.

I don't know guys, but I'm not outright disliking what I see. Maybe add why you think it bad. Is it because the strap is made from only two pieces?

I refer to the black upper and grey lower material, of course.

Hello,
As far as i'm concerned, i like what i see on these new photos.
As i wrote in my previous post, it can be hard to determine if private purchased shoulderstraps are original or not, but i really have a good feeling about this one.
Thanks

I don't like the grey backing fabric, the button hole construction or the tress or the construction in general, but as always this is just my opinion.
