Opinions welcomed on Y-Straps!

[Aus der Traum]

Hello,
As this set of Y-straps has no stitching on both sides of the rivets that hold auxiliary straps, IMO it was produced between 1941 and 1943.
Thanks

Thanks very much for the info there, are these a good pair to use on an infantry mannequin, around 1943?

Yes they definitely are Josh.If your man's fighting,say,In Italy during the Summer of 1943 a 1944-dated set would be too "late",but don't forget that a soldier fighting in 1943 could and would have used anything made before that year;he may have drunk from a 1938-dated canteen,eaten from a 1942-dated "kochgeschirr" and even worn a late production, 1942-dated M40/41 combat tunic mated to a pair of brand new,freshly-issued M43 Kielhose...unless you want to put up a rig consisting of 1943-dated items only of course!
