K98 ammo pouches & Y straps

Hello,
I can confirm that all items seen in this thread are genuine WWII german pieces of equipment. Y-straps production date should be between the end of 1943 and the end of the war, same with the ammo pouches but starting from the end of 1942.
Nice items
Thanks

Thank you JPhilp as there are no markings other than the number that is stamped on the leather on the Y straps may I ask you how you have determined the time line of production did the style change or the hardware after the end of 1943 ? As to the K98 ammo pouches upon further inspection I have found a date stamp of 1944 that is partialy covered by the RBN on the one pouch.
